    Eric Engineering - Tuner - model 357

    Hi, I haven't found much info on this tuner. Does anyone have any schematics or Info or anything? I swapped out the few capacitors I had on hand, but when I started raising voltages in increments of 30 volts every 30 minutes on a Variac, the transformer got really hot around 60 volts. So I...

    Yamaha R700 Tuner Trouble

    Hello Guys, I'm currently working on a Yamaha R700. The power amplifier was shot, so I replaced the 3 hybrid ic modules and a couple of resistors that were burnt and I recapped the whole unit because all caps were leaking. Now that part of the receiver is working very well. Now I’m facing some...

    Tivoli Model One - Red/Blue Lights?

    Hi. I recently bought a brand new old-stock dark-walnut Tivoli Model One tuner, platinum series. The box shows a 2006 Tivoli copyright... but that's not to say the unit was made in that year - just not before. I think Tivoli may have released the platinum series on a couple of occasions...

    Contact Cleaner 'type' (on Tivoli radio)

    Hi all, I just bought an old but brand new Tivoli 'Model One' radio (platinum series - yay!). I suspect this thing is near 20 years old. Stations come in and play clearly, but... while I'm still dialing in a station, the audio output can be quite scratchy/noisy. The volume knob works...

All is working great except when I move the turner up and down the dial, at some points there seems to be some very light resistance where is sounds like the string is making binding noises. Not very loud but audible for sure. I have looked and all...

    Hello, all. This Calrad tuner has been working perfectly, but suddenly the sound is cutting in and out and then completely out.

    Sansui Seven Tuner Power Supply

    Hello everyone, I was listening to FM on my Sansui Seven, it suddenly went mute. Upon investigation, it happened to be TR002 on the power supply board which is a 2SD330. This supplies +12v to the Tuner section. The rest of the unit works fine. Many in the forum mentioned TIP31C or TIP41C as a...

    McIntosh MR78 Replacement Bezel

It's held on by double sided tape. It can dry out and fall off. Mine is lost. It's the last cosmetic piece I need to restore my...

    Hearing radio even with no tuner connected, Yamaha Ca810

    Just got a Yamaha CA 810 off of eBay. It's visually beautiful, nicely cleaned up by the seller. However, even with the volume all the way down, and the tuner not selected, despite there being no tuner attached anyway, I can hear the radio. It's pretty unsettling. It doesn't matter what input or...
