    Silvertone

    Anyone know who manufactured Sears Silvertone record changers from the mid-sixties through the late sixties. I was told they were manufacture by Alliance (Genie Garage door openers, Alliance "Tenna-Rotor" anntena rotators, and small fractional hp motors). Alliance was bought out in 1994 by...

    ATH AT-LP60 vs Sears Professional Series 28668

    Hi all, Longtime reader, first-time poster. I'm trying to replace a turntable on a budget. I'm strictly looking second-hand. I found an ATH AT-LP60 and Sears Professional Series 28668 for the same price. The Sears is a pretty cool record player. It's a CEC from the 70s from what I understand...

    Sears Idler Tire Replacement Help

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help me find a replacement for the tire of the idler for this Sears record player. I have attached an image of the crumbled ring and the idler itself. I measured the outer diameter to be 1.5 inches or about 37mm. The height from the table was 2mm and the width...

    A rare find from Goodwill; Sears "LXI" Series CDP, dated 1989.

    I can't find anything online about this particular unit. All I know is that it was manufactured for LXI by Sanyo, (The 564 number on the rear indicates it as a Sanyo product.) However, I did see this same CDP in a VWestlife video about his cheap Yorx CDP, showing a vintage advertisement with...

    Sears LXI Stereo Repair

    Alright so here goes. I'm working through some self inflicted issues with a Sears LXI 564.92581 receiver and finally decided I should swallow my ego and see what kind of responses I can get out of the AK community. I'm lacking in knowledge in stereo repair but am comfortable with multi-meter...

    Yamarantz

    Okay - I know that I am risking getting made fun of here - but what is a realistic value for the infamous Yamarantz receiver? I am talking about the Sears RE-1801, the Sears model 28747, or the AGS-152. I am well aware that these are at best an optimistic 50WPC, most information pointing to low...

    Thorens TD166 MKII

    I came across a Thorens TD166 MKII turntable with a missing power cord. Could be able to get it for 200$ but it's 2 hours away from me. The 16VAC 300mA (not DC) adapter might cost me around 50$. For 200$, is it worth it over my Sears 28668 (pretty much a Marantz 6100 replica) or my Pioneer PL-15R?

    The Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve 1484 Major Restoration Project

    Chris called me up from Cornerstone music with an amplifier in such disrepair that he was giving it to me for free. I have a sneaking suspicion he took hard to see pictures in the text messages for fear I might not show up to pick up the amp. What I saw was horrible. I have a good feeling...

    Sears Professional Series model 28747 receiver

    I bought this one about a month ago, cleaned it, tried it all good. That's what I thought. After running it for couple weeks, each time an hour or so in low volume it lost the left channel sound but a hummm. Then when I removed the top cover, can see a resistor (green, blue, grey) is toasted...

    A little help IDing this receiver?

    Hi, I just picked up this "SEARS AUDIO BY" Fisher receiver at a thrift for $10. The model number is 143.92541600, which I understand to be *Sears'* number. Does anybody recognize this visually? I'd like to know what non-branded Fisher model this corresponds to, if any. BTW, the quick FM test...

    I recently picked up my first record player, and how it happened was I was looking in a Goodwill, and happened to see a record turntable/ duel cassette deck for 20$! After bringing it home and testing fully, I realized I had no idea about anything to do with it. I was pointed here by a friend...

    Tube Console - Restore or Cannibalize for the Amplifier?

    Years ago I purchased a Sears Silvertone console stereo at an estate sale for $10. It has an AM/FM Stereo tuner and a Medalist record changer in it. When I got it home, I turned it on and it took awhile to come on. I knew then it was a tube model. It sounded really nice after it warmed up. I...

    Can't find these components...

    So I've become sort of infatuated with old record consoles and portable record players and now have 5 project pieces; 2 Sears Silvertone portables and 3 consoles. I'm starting with what seems like the easiest (the smaller Silvertone) and would like to replace the 2 caps and transistor, but after...
