    Help - Technics CD Player stuck

    Hello, I have a Technics CD Player SL-PG340 that I bought new 25+ years ago. I used to play many CDs years ago, but for the past 3-4 years I didn't use it. Now, it still "works". It reads all my CDs, all button works as they should, all is good until I press the eject button. If there's no CD...

    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...

    Hot Receiver

    Hi. What is the name of the part in the red box? It’s on the bottom of my Technics SA205 receiver and is very hot to touch. I put a small fan in front of it, but that part is still hot. What causes it to be so hot and is that normal? I’m only using the radio with two small speakers. Thanks.

    Technics SB-CD977 Speakers ??

    Hi AK community. I doubt I'll get any responses to this one but does anyone know anything about the Technics SB-CD977 speakers, literally all I've been able to work out is that they're from the late 90s and most likely near the top of the SB-CDXXX line. Any information on these would be...

    Technics SL-PG100 has issues reading some CDs

    I knew it could not be THIS good when I picked it up on a garage sale for $15. It does not read some CDs. Out of the CDs I tried it could not read probably 20-25% It just sits with 00:00, making grinding sounds. This is not related to CD duration, it did read a 79 minute CD, but did not read a...

    I (like most on this forum) consider myself to be something of an audiophile and I’m looking to get into the tape side of things. I’ve been collecting vinyl for years and am currently managing a record store, so I’m no stranger to gear and how expensive this hobby will be. I’m looking to get a...

    Technics SL-5 linear tracking turntable stopped playing SL5 SL 5

    Bought an SL-5 at an estate sale about 2 years ago, have been using for about 1 year very regularly, but the other day, out of nowhere, it ceased starting if I press the START button. I have been able to get it to engage (the platter spinning and cartridge descending) if I use the CUEING button...

I've got it connected to a good aerial in my attic, but it's getting quite weak reception on stations that it should be receiving well. I can make them...

    I've had various Technics linear tracking turntables since the '80s, but this one is my favorite -- for looks and functionality. It's a 1981-1983 Quartz direct-drive SL-7 -- metal plinth, not plastic -- with a Shure P-mount elliptical-stylus cartridge. No, she doesn't sound quite as good as the...
