    Pilot PCM 4000A – looking for advice

    A while ago I bought this Pilot PCM 4000A receiver here in Germany. The seller said it had been stored in a dry shed for years by his father-in-law, who recently passed away. I got it cheap and decided to take a gamble, mainly because I genuinely like the design, and I'm pretty good at cosmetic...

    Marantz 1515 won't power up

    I see there is a previous thread with a similar problem, but no solution offered. I am trying to bring a Marantz 1515 back to life for a friend. A full inspection shows nothing out of the ordinary except for a "slightly" dodgy power switch. I cleaned it up with contact cleaner and the function...

    Why no fully equipped surround sound receivers with no amps?

    I have a Yamaha surround sound receiver with all the bells and whistles, including many channels of amplification. However, I use all separate power amps, so this a bit of overkill. Since that is a major expense in these units, why not make something that has all the bells, but no amps? It would...

    I have a Sansui 210 receiver, which works fine, except for the fm section of it. It only produces static, and the signal meter is always between 4 and 5 (almost max). It does move ever so slightly when I move the dial, however the tuner only produces static. AM works well. I have changed the...

    Barrier to entry on custom cabinets?

    Gave away my old broken vintage piece to an old pal. Been using my H/K 3390, love it to death but there's a small hole in my heart that only a slab of finely sanded and oil wood can cover. It's probably as simple as gluing 4 pieces together, but then I have to look into vent holes, screw holes...
