    Sansui 9090 DB Intermittent Stereo FM

    I'm having a very similar issue as this user had previously here - Sansui 9090 Fm Stereo stopped working, Fm Reception OK Doesn't look like he found a solution and I'm a bit unsure of where to start. Unit works flawlessly other than stereo reception on FM. It will work anywhere from 10 minutes...

    Vintage Radio Strong Station Distortion

    Working on a Motorola Model: 13KT15CW Chassis: Ch= HS-677. Just finished recapping the filter caps, all paper caps, and cleaning tube leads. The amp sounds great but the radio needs some tweaking. Generally it works pretty well but the issue at hand is that I've got a couple of strong signal...

    We relocated from the megaplex to a rural area. Now I need an outdoor roof mount antenna for better FM stereo reception. Which coax is recommended? RG6 or something else? I plan to have coax run to 4 rooms. One of the locations is the basement. Are there any length of coax run concerns...

    PIONEER SX-440 FM Reception - Magic Loop?

    I'll keep this short! Picked up my first 440, cleaning it up, 90% of the lights were burnt out, etc. After replacing the lights I found the signal meter and stereo light to be responsive, but, even with an FM antenna attached I wasn't getting much action for either. Then when I touched the...

    What Causes Dead Spots in Video Reception?

    I live out in the country and on the banks of a bayou. For some reason, there is a 1/4 mile long stretch on either side of our home which is a "dead spot" for all kinds of reception, especially Digital TV signals. I can literally watch my cell phone reception meter drop as I approach our home on...

    Radio Reception

    Quick questions: Why does the radio tuner in the car parked in the driveway pick up more stations and has better signal strength than my stereo receiver which is only a few yards away? Is the antenna for the car that much better than the one paired with my stereo receiver?

    First time using a vintage tuner - Kenwood KT-5300 - issues?

    Hi Everyone, I've had a KT-5300 on my shelf for about a year, and I thought that I wasn't getting signal because I didn't have an external antenna. I purchased a wire antenna and it made no significant difference. There is maybe one or two channels on FM that I get reasonable signal from (still...
