    Sony ES Take Deck Eject button

    Just replaced the belts on my KA1ES and the eject button came out. Looked like an easy repair and now confused on what to do. I got it back in place but it is not secure https://www.flickr.com/photos/49765070@N06/shares/e2Tmp9

    New Stylus for Sony XL200 Cartridge

    New sub! New sub!

    So, I grabbed a new toy today. An SVS sub, model SB12-NSD for $400 new on sale. It's literally a couple of hours old and not broken in yet, but already is awesome. It's replacing 2 10" ported subs at 100watts each. I'm not going to say it's louder than the 2 subs I had, but it's loud enough...

    Odd diode in Sony str-v3

    Hi all, I have a quick question about replacing a diode in my Sony str-v3. The diode is a Sv04S and I can't find a replacement anywhere for it. Does anyone know what to replace it with? I'm going to be honest here, I'm a college student that doesn't have a lot of cash so I'm always looking for...

    My early Sony ES system

    A few months ago, I managed to purchase a complete Sony system on craigslist. Included was a TA-1120A integrated amplifier, SS-3300 speakers, a PS-3000 turntable, and ST-5000F tuner, all purchased in 1970 or 1971. I even got the original paperwork and the folding dust cover for the turntable...

The return does not seem to operate either. The new belt it good but not sure What to do next. Any help or directing me to a thread would be...

    Old Sony TA-212A Amplifier, Technical help needed.

    Hey! My name is Bo, and I'm totally new to this forum. (I like it already though). I recently bought a Sony TA-212A Amplifier (Dutch release) second handed. I love it. It's got cool VU meters and get's the sound through my speakers nicely, but I do have one particular problem. When listening to...

    Sony CDP-690 CD Player

    I just nabbed a Sony CPD-690 CD Player from Goodwill for $7.30. Plugged it in, and, unfortunately there is an issue. The CD tray won't stay closed. Soon as I gave it power, the tray opens. When I close the tray, it stays closed for a few seconds and opens right back up. Putting in a CD does...

    Setting Voltages on Sony TA-1120A

    I am in the process of restoring a very nice Sony TA-1120A integrated amp, and I have questions about the procedure for setting the AC bias current. I'm comfortable setting bias on amps where values and test points are clearly stated. However, the instructions in the service manual require the...

    Just picked up a Sony TA-E77ESD preamp, and left channel not working?

    Hey everybody, I've wanted to get into the vintage 2 channel game for a long time to see what I've been missing (I've always used modern AV receivers) and I found a Sony TA-E77ESD for a decent price at a pawn shop yesterday. I'm a huge Sony fan and love ES gear, so I was excited. Unfortunately...

    Sony STR-6046A

    Just sharing this little amp. Previous posts are confirmed: Excellent phono amp (kicked-out my Sansui 771, SX-..., ) Rather good FM (I compare to the 771 which is similar, but not as good as my external Leak Stereofetic) Compact bass and open heights, good soundstage Real wood case I listen on...

    Sony STR-VX5 power supply trouble in paradise

    I was given a dead Sony STR-VX5 receiver, which I take to be a reasonable unit; thought I would fix it up and send it down the road to some deserving soul ... I'm not familiar with this unit at all, it has the "Legato linear circuit" and "pulse power supply" ... and, of course, I have no...

    Sony STR-2800 Two Blown Fuses

    Hi everyone. My Sony STR-2800 has blown two 4AT fuses (F803 & 804). I wasn't there to witness it, so it's hard to say how exactly it happened and whether someone maxed out the volume knob or something. It powers on, but there's no signal coming through the speakers and headphones outputs. A few...

    Mint Sony PS-3000 turntable, SS-3300 speakers, components, what are they worth?

    I have the opportunity to pick up some really nice vintage Sony equipment from the original owner. Included are: Sony TTS-3000 turntable with PUA-286 arm. I understand this is a very nice turntable. Sony ST-5000 Tuner. I don't listen to much radio, but again I think this is pretty nice. Sony...

    Anyone heard a Sony ST-S3000(ES)?

    I see a clean one on the German auction site that looks pretty nice if pricey. It has just about the same form factor and general styling as my HAP-S1 so they might make a tidy stack together. I checked the Sony specs against my ST-SA5ES and they are pretty close, the major differences are a...

    RTR: Sony TC-500, smokes when line out connected

    Hey, how's everyone doing? I got a Sony TC-500 from a friend about a year and some back, everything works as it should except... Something burns whenever I connect the line out. It smells like solder, I haven't taken the unit apart yet, and probably wont for another couple of days. I'm pretty...

    Another newbie from Wisconsin

    Oddly enough, when I was growing up, we didn't really listen to music. I didn't actually pay attention to music til college in the 90s when an aunt gifted me an all in one stereo lp/radio/tape deck "rack" system that she'd inherited from an uncle. I discovered LPs and enjoyed them until the...

    Help! Sony PS-X600 - Platter won't spin!

    I've been wanting to try out a Sony PS-X600 for years after reading the rave reviews here on AK and elsewhere and after owning a PS-X55. Today, I got the chance to get one. Only the platter won't spin! The tone arm servos seem to be fine, but it is as though the motor is seized. I haven't spent...

    Sony PSX 60: question about catridge/stylus

    When I was fixing up my Sony PSX 60 which I bought semi broken, I got a lot of really good and supportive advice here on all sorts of issues including which cartridge to use. Now it is fully functional and working really nicely, holds speed perfectly. I had a Shure M91ED, which I replaced the...
