    As part of my de-soldering station project, I need a relay to switch on the vacuum pump. It's an older Gast model with a 1/6th HP motor that draws 4.2 amps and need some input as to which relay to select. I'm looking at these: 3-32V DC to 24-480V AC 40A Output Single Phase SSR Solid State...

    Question about replacing relays

    I am trying to find out why a Denon PMA 560 has very low volume on both channels. Looking around on the web I've seen that a common problem in this amp is that relays often fail or misbehave, so I went ahead and ordered new relays on Ebay that are supposed to be compatible with this model. The...

    Hello everybody, I am restoring a marantz 3250, I have a little problem, when I turn it on, I have to wait 10 minutes before sound comes out ...

    KR-7400 with a constant hum in both channels

    I picked this up recently. Has a hum in both channels. While troubleshooting I found that if I tapped the relay the hum would go away for a few seconds. So I reflowed the relay. No change. Ordered a new relay, put him in. Still has a hum, but tapping the relay now has no effect. Any ideas...

    CR-620 Stuck in Protection Mode

    Gang, I'm the original owner of a CR-620. Never over-worked, and always treated well. The only maintenance performed on it during its life was to clean the pots with Deoxit in attempt to fix "scratchiness", which worked perfectly. Turned it on in August 2018 and, low and behold, the output...
