    Carver 900 Receiver Output Pcb

    Carver MXR 900 Receiver --- 2 X .39 ohm mystery resistors on output relay pcb. R pair is not in manufacturers schematic. Relays had six lugs - replaced with 8 lug versions. Had crackling in left channel. Clear in headphones prior to fix. All is good now. (Fingers crossed)

    I have been working on this Kenwood a lot of this week. A friend sold it to me cheap, as it was stuck in protect mode...

    Thoughts on vintage receiver prices?

    I've always wanted to own a 70's woodgrain receiver. Not one of those bottom of the barrel/compact systems, but a "real" receiver, like a Pioneer SX-3800. I really love that flourescent display. They are quite expensive, though. SX-3800's on eBay can be found for $600+. I have a hard time...

    AM not working after recapping power supply

    I recapped the power supply of my MCS 3223 and it was somewhat successful, I made the hum go and it's sounding a lot better now. However, I believe that in the process I might've moved or fried something that stopped the AM signal from working. What should I look for and where should I look if I...

    Did I burn this power supply?

    I have just took the capacitors out of this power supply, and I'm a bit worried about those brown-ish spots that formed around the connections, do these look like I burned the board? and if so, anyway to "fix" it? I have read that burning things is unlikely if you're careful because not many...
