    Concord MK10 tone control board not passing audio

    The tone control on the Concord MK10 I'm fixing for my friend seems to not be passing audio. Coming off the preamp, I get about 2v on a 60Hz (most dependable frequency for my DMM) and at the output of the tone control I get 0.005, the same voltage I get when doing a straight short. I replaced...

    SHERWOOD S2100 "Motor Boating" on 3/4 of AM dial

    The tuner is working OK. FM sounds OK. AM sounds great too but only within the higher 1/3 of the dial. When tuning within the first 2/3 of the dial, there is motor boating. I'm going to sell the tuner. Would be great to have the motor boating fixed first but I don't want to put $ into this, as I...

    Concord MK-10, really just a Sherwood s-7100, blowing rectifier diodes.

    So I'm working on a Concord MK-10, which from what I can tell is damn near identical to a Sherwood s-7100 non a version. I replaced all the c458 transistors as I ahve read they are really noisy and seemed to be at fault. I also recapped the audio signal. I forgot to trim some of the leads of the...

    Sherwood S-4400 - selenium rectifier replacement problem

    Recently got one of these all recapped and cleaned up. Turned it on and it blew it's fuse. I'm thinking it could be the old selenium rectifier in there. So I ordered up some 3A 1000V silicon diodes and put a couple of those in according to how (I thought) they're in the schematic. I first put it...
