    Sony STR-6036A phono channels go in and out

    I have a Sony STR-6036a that I've had a for a few years now, and after having sprayed the pots numerous times, I can't seem to get the phono input to consistently play from both channels. All the other inputs / radio doesn't seem to have a problem. Switching the power switch on/off while the...

    How to repair arcing power Arc

    Hello good people, I'm having an issue with an arcing power switch in my Philips 22-AH-686 receiver. I thought initially that I had dirty switches / pots but a thorough cleaning did nothing to help. I am fairly sure that the problem is the power switch. I will also test the output transistors...

    Peerless 8-Track Receiver Weak Phono Output

    I'm repairing a junk Peerless HSP-25A 8-track reciever so I can learn about these old systems and have run into a strange (to me) problem. The AM and FM sections now work great, as does the 8-track, but the phono inputs on the back produce very low output. Looking through the schematic...

    Pioneer SX-838 No FM reception ?

    I have been going through many threads looking for information on this. I found one but it never said what the fix was. I have a Pioneer SX-838 that had a few issues I worked most of them out except one. The FM has static with the FM muting off but I get nothing at all in the way of stations...

    Sony ZA1100ES receiver

    Bought this receiver about a month ago and not real happy given the price range. The audio seems to be missing a lot of frequencies and is heavier on the highs. Also specifically unhappy with the equalizer which only has Bass and treble ??? I also have a Yamaha which has a wonderful 8 or 10...

    2330b missing one fm channel and I'm stumped

    I'm working on restoring a 2230b that's generally in good condition. The one major problem I'm trying to figure out is that it only has a left fm channel. I've tested other inputs such as AUX and they have both left and right sound. I also tried taking the audio directly from the preamp output...

    Does anyone know much about this H.H. Scott Turntable?

    I think it's a HH Scott PS59C, someone is giving it away for free with the receivers shown and a couple of pinnacle speakers. Does anyone know much about these? I haven't found a lot of information online other than the typical "It's good for beginners". What should I expect from it? An extra...

    NIKKO NR 1019 swing meters

    I am iso the swing meters for my NIKKO 1019 receiver. I need all 4. When I purchased it (good price) they were not functional, none of them. I think it may have been dropped. Fortunately this is the only issue, everything else is on good shape. Great receiver by the way and I want it to be in...

    Channel out - remedial help!

    I have a Realistic SA-2001 amp that is having an issue with the right channel input. The sound is very faint - even with the balance turned all the way to the right. It's staticky & pops like a weak AM radio signal. As I type this, the sound became normal (but ...) But when I switched to...

    No sound from Sony STR-DE185

    I have a Sony str-de185 stereo receiver that I found used at a thrift store. It's worked fairly well for a couple of years, besides it cutting out a few times here or there. Now it's doing it much more frequently, and now it isn't coming back on by itself like is normally would. It stays powered...

    It’s been a good week at the thrifts!

    Thrifting reopened here last week, and I have to admit, I am taking advantage of it. But what is it with all the people ignoring social distancing while not wearing a mask! Anyway, I’ve been finding some great music on vinyl, and even a brand new with tags Tilley hat! In my colour! So today, I...

    Sansui MQ-2000 Worth It?

    Hey All, I’m scheduled to purchase a Sansui MQ-2000 4 Channel combo record player receiver today. The seller says everything works as it should.

    Yamaha RX-V1500 will not power on

    I've had this receiver for a year or two. Does not run hot. Never had even a hiccup from it. I usually just leave it on 24/7. The other day, when I was near by it, I heard the fan running. Indeed, it was powered on and the fan was running. I hit the power button and turned it off. I thought this...
