    SONY TC-366 No Sound, No VU Action

    Great people, I have a SONY TC-366 with newly installed belts and run capacitor, functions engaging nicely, but I'm getting no sound when using headphones to monitor known good reels, also not getting any VU reaction. When plugging source into AUX in, not getting any sound (or VU reaction)...

    Snog, Marry and Avoid, except its HiFi and "Sell, Donate or Keep"

    Due to an unforeseen redundancy I have had to make a tough call and have decided to sacrifice some of my HiFi Kit to help ends meet. I do have an excess and that doesn't count the stuff I was planning on repairing. Because I'm still no expert I'd like some advice on what to keep for A: my main...

    Sony TC-630D running too fast?

    The tape is running WAY too fast, like it's fast forwarding. It changes slightly when I switch the speed but just barely. The pinch roller is also not touching the tape/capstan shaft, which isn't a mechanical issue since the pinch roller can't be pushed any farther than it already is, so I...

    SONY D555 optical / laser part

    Hello, sort of new in here so i hope im posting in the right place / the right way :) I found this great Sony Discman, model D-555 at a thrift store. I was mainly attracted by the look, but later learned it was a sort of Holy Grail of portable disc players. There were no accessories with it...

    Would the Denon DVD-2910 be a reliable SACD player? I've had issues with Sony.

    I've seen people mention how the Sony players stop reading SACD after a few years and will only play the regular CD format on hybrid discs. There is a Denon DVD-2910 for sale nearby but they're asking more than I wanted to spend. Would this unit be more reliable or will most brands that I find...

    Sony PUA-237 owners: cartridge recommendations?

    I recently picked up a Sony TTS-3000A in incredible condition for the shockingly ridiculous price of $20. I’m quickly falling in love with this table and planning on making it my primary. It’s equipped with the PUA-237 arm and I’m looking for recommendations on a cartridge. It has the original...

    Sony ULM Speakers

    Howdy Y'all, I bought a pair of Sony SS-7200 ULM-2 Speakers to replace my not so interesting Klipsch r51m speakers. I think they are a better match perhaps for my Sony ta-1150 amplifier as they are both from the early '70s (the amp currently needs a recap, it loses a channel but I can get it...

    Help with Sony PS-LX3

    Hello, I own two of these, and bought a second one "for parts", which turned-out to be more functional than the first, which had deteriorated [these are from the late 70's/early 80's] to no longer having any of the automated functions work. The older one worked perfectly, just didn't...

    Does anyone know what kind off light bulb the size detector sensor in the ps x800 uses ?

    I have been scrolling the service manual for a bit but I couldn't find it . I need to replace it but for that I would need to know what kind of bulb I need to buy. I did find some things about similar sonys but I don't know if they have the same detecting sensor or not. Does anyone have a clue ?

    I got this nice RDS tuner as working but the autoscan feature does not work most of the time. I cannot fathom what the criteria for the microcontroller are for when to stop. This is what happens: briefly turn the tuning knob to initiate autoscan. When a station is found it should stop. I...

    So I had a thought. was looking on e-bay and found a bunch of Pioneer se-205 and 305 for cheap. Then I found that I could also buy the drivers from a set of Sony WH-1000XM4 for around $10 per side. so $20ish plus shipping. Is this a dumb idea? Is it even doable? The Pioneer's have 45mm drivers...

    Automatic turntable doesn't drop needle

    My Sony PS-LX30 doesn't lower the tonearm when I try to play records. If I turn it off and back on again then it starts working like normal. Sometimes that takes a few tries. It also stops working when I leave it on for a bit without using it. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
