    Soundesign TX-5164 AM-FM Stereo Receiver

    I bought a receiver at a flea market for almost nothing and was quite surprised, since you don't often come across such engineering solutions. The receiver was sold as non-working, for spare parts or repairs. When we met, the seller said that this receiver worked quite well for him, but after...

    Realistic STA-120B Calibration?

    Hey, y’all! I’m new to AK and very new to analog equipment in general, so my apologies in advance if this isn’t the right place for this or if this is a silly question. Not sure if calibration is the right term for this either. I recently purchased a Realistic STA-120B receiver. I’ve really...

    Receiver or integrated amp for KEF 101s?

    So, first post from a relative newbie here. I just inherited a pair of old KEF 101 SP1122s from my dad. They need the usual work for KEFs of this age (recapping/crossover rebuild) but assuming that can be done, I would really like to use them. The question is what receiver or amp I need to...

    Marantz 2238b power supply adjustment

    I am just finishing up restoring a Marantz 2238b and attempting to set the power supply voltage. I can only get it to 29 volts instead of the 35v stated in the manual. Bias and DC offset are spot on. Does anyone have suggestions? And it is a concern given that it is working and sounds fantastic?

I've had loads of 330c's and 430's, even picked up a 330B the other day, but wow, I was so excited to get this 730 even though its condition was the dreaded "untested". I'll cut to the chase here.

    Anyone know what these are?

    Are these just really big plugs, loading (capacitance/resistance) plugs, or something else? They came with my Hitachi SR 603 when I bought it earlier in the year but didn't pay much attention to them.
