Surprisingly the table is not that bad and I will probably keep it for something to pass down to one of my kids. Currently restoring a TD-165 and a Dual...

    RCA MI-112182 Monoblock Tube Amps

    Been wanting a pair of RCA PA/theater monoblocks for a while, but never pulled the trigger -- until now. Bought a pair of these for probably more than they're worth.

    Hi, I have a Roksan Kandy integrated amplifier, with multiple working inputs. But the "CD" input has no sound. I can repair electronics, but I'm confused with this. The RCA connector itself is fine, it passes current with a multimeter. It then goes into a circuit, circled in red: Is it...

    Working on 2325 with left channel out. The sound output returned when I was using RCAs to test and crossing channels between Pre-out and Main. I noticed RCA was sensitive to touch on one of the Pre-Out RCA outputs causing the left channel sound to cut in and out. I used Deoxit D5 spray and...
