    Dual 1219 Pop diagnosis and switch block internals

    I'm restoring a Dual 1219 and am addressing the "Pop" on motor start / stop. I've cleaned the visible contacts with DeOxit and replaced the snubber capacitor with a new .1mF cap, but still have the pops. Did a crocus cloth contact cleaning - no change. Also cleaned the mute contacts similarly...

    Marantz Snubber vs. Safety Cap

    I have an early (S/N 8796) model 1060. I have found conflicting information regarding replacement of the cap across the power switch. Presumably this issue also applies other Marantz amps and receivers of the period, but the cap references in this post are for a 1060. My amp (and the 1060...

    Snubber Circuits on the power switch? Pros and Cons

    Hi all, I have a Denon DRA-300 and I believe it has a RC Snubber Circuit on the Power Switch. I am considering making one using the values ( .033uF + 120ohm ) printed on the side (see photo) to install on my recent refurbished Advent 350 to add some protection to the power switch. I have been...

    Snubber (or Arc Suppressor Network?) value significance in receiver power switch

    Hi all! I'll try to keep this to the point. I'm replacing an ALPS toggle power switch in a Sony STR-6055. The old switch (which broke in shipping) had a snubber (or I've heard some call them arc suppressor networks) soldered onto two of the switch contacts. The component is orange, branded...

    Snubber Cap Value?

    My Kenwood KR 8050 makes a loud 'pop' sound when shutting the unit down. The on/off switch includes this capacitor marked 103P. Would this Cap be a good replacement?

    pre-built snubber option available

    When working on vintage Marantz receivers many of us build our own power switch snubbers, putting together a cap and resistor. Some opt for the expensive all-in-one option from Cornell at over $8 US when buying singles. It looks more like the original and neater most of the time. After much...

    Akai RC Snubber Replacement

    Hey all, I've been doing my research on spark quenchers / RC snubbers to replace the 120R + .1uf 500VAC snubber in the Akai 280D-SS i'm restoring. Initially I wanted to replace the original part "RU1201" (Listed as CR101 & 102 on the schematic) with "RE1201" but the voltage rating listed on...

    Snubber Cap

    Over the weekend, we were enjoying some music in the back yard. I was using my recently restored Pioneer ER-420 tube receiver. As we were winding down, I heard a small pop, and the GFCI tripped. It would trip whenever I plugged in the receiver - on or off - and had it connected to a cheap USB...

    Hafler DH-500 - bridge rectifier? recommendations?

    Thanks in advance for your help. It's great to be part of a community of like-minded individuals. I've recently recapped an old Hafler DH-500. It's a bit unusual in that it has the pc10a version of the boards which don't quite match the manual available online. Anyhow, I've recapped it and...

    hello everyone! i hope you don't mind the noob questions... does the snubber can go bad? mine is kind of bulged (see image)... does the snubber only protects the on/off switch? or it protects other components? and last question, what if i don't install a snubber (just temporarily untill i get a...

    Marantz 1060 Power Switch questions

    Hey all, Picked up a 1060 that was DOA, but it was cosmetically so nice, I couldn't pass it up. I got it going and have re-capped the tone, power supply and phono boards and it sounds great. Am going to do the main/coupling and the power amp soon. My question, someone changed the power...

    KD-2055 Switch Suppresor

    I just replaced mine. All versions have 12R+10n, except US which has 100n, and Canadian which has 47n. Well, these values/ time-constants would seem not to be too critical. I removed the 12R resistor and fitted a 47R+47n Rifa integrated C-R unit - for which there is a hole in exactly the...

    Well, AK'ers, I owe many of you a big round of thanks. I've finished my first complete restoration, it was a SX-450, and most of what I did was a result of you all asking each other questions, answering them, and leaving pointers to more info. You guys rock! Thank you! It sounds terrific (with...
