    Radford S90 vocals dead flat... is it me?

    After hearing all the great things about the Radford S90's, I was pleased to find some at a local garage sale for a good price. Sadly - and maybe it's just me - but the bass is exceptional (I know that should be the case) and the treble and detail are great, but vocals..... I cannot find a...

    Marantz 1122DC Restoration

    Well I'm always a sucker for a new project. Next up on the list (at least worth posting about) is my first integrated, a Marantz 1122DC. It looks kinda pretty on the outside which is what attracted me in the first place. But boy the inside is sure a dirty, dusty mess. I think this thing was...

    Fisher 400 Loudness Switch Wiring

    Does anybody have pictures or a diagram of the loudness switch wiring. I rebuilt my receiver and I have an imbalance in volume, when I disconnect the left channel loudness wire from the volume control it returns to full volume.

    How far can one go? KA-3750

    After listening to the newly acquired KA-3750, I decided to give it a try to make it sound even better. I did get the idea that I was doing some overkill on the little girl. But who knows. The unit was kinda dirty inside. Since you had to take the whole unit apart to get underneath the...

    Does anyone rebuild the electrical chassis?

    I have a Magnavox 'American'. It's 100% original and in great shape. But it needs to have it's amp (electrical/tube) chassis rebuilt. I am sure the Electrolytic caps and tubes will need to be replaced. Probably some other components also, but I will leave that up to the person with a lot more...

    Incomplete Optimus T-120

    Hello, I have been holding on to a pair of my grandfathers T-120's that I am interested in rebuilding. One of the cabinets are missing the mid and woofer. The other needs new foam. With half of the drivers missing, repairing is not an option. I am looking for the best replacement options. I am...

    SAE Two model A7 - need technical info for rebuild (500+ mV per channel...)

    Hi, I'd like to restore an old SAE Two type A7 amplifier. I'm not used to redo SAE amps hence my request. I already recaped the output section but still have over 500mV on both channels. Three output transistors are not original. The relay clicks after two seconds once powered on despite the DC...

    Do you have an AR XA Single Motor Wiring Diagram?

    Cause if you did have an AR XA single motor wiring diagram, it would be super helpful. Would you share it please? I am resuscitating my long-delayed AR XA turntable project. The hard parts are done, I just need to wire in the motor as well as the tonearm, and I should be in business. I just...

    Need help figuring out some semantics...

    I have a set of ESS model seven(ish) speakers that I was suckered into buying, I tore them apart and the tweeters are blown, crossover is totally out of spec, and I want to rebuild them better than the original. Could someone please help me decide how I could integrate a ribbon tweeter into the...

    Pioneer RT-707 service & rebuild

    Hi everyone, I just picked up my first reel-to-reel machine, a Pioneer RT-707. Aside from a ding in shipping (sadly on the faceplate) and a couple of minor issues (see below) the machine looks in great shape. The heads are in outstanding physical shape. After playing a couple of tapes last...

    How I refurbished my first receiver (Marantz 2245)

    I recently refurbished a Marantz 2245 receiver with very little prior experience in electronics. I'm using this thread to collate my sources and comments, in hopes that they may help other beginners. The idea is to explain some of the basics and then reference the real sources of detailed...
