    HH SCOTT 233 rebuild

    I just took possession of a very nice Scott 233, completely original as far as I could tell. I ran it up on a variac to 117vac , did a few voltage checks and set the bias and balance. Sounded pretty good a bit muddy and blurry and hum. I played it awhile anyway to get a good feel for it. Next I...

    Hello everyone and happy Easter holiday. I wanted to pick your brains about an Accuphase P-300 that I recently acquired. The unit has two relays (one on each side of the amp close to the front). The relay on the left (behind the power switch) clicks like crazy when the amp is cold or when I...

    Sony TA-1150 Build Thread

    So normally I work on Marantz, Pioneer & Sansui gear but this little integrated has good looks and came at a good price so what the heck. There's not a lot of information out there on this amp so I thought I would contribute what I can by documenting the boards as I work through it. First...

    I'm currently in the midst of my first project, recapping a Marantz 2230 and meeting quite a few difficulties along the way.

    Sansui 1000a restoration advice

    I got a fully functional sansui1000a a couple of years ago. It's in great shape, but has never been serviced. Every knob turn is scratchy and although it plays, I don't really want to even plug it in with all those old caps waiting to crap out (it being of the ancient tube sort of gear)...
