    Pioneer F-X50 tuner help needed

    Anyone familiar with this tuner and have a schematic handy? I have a schematic for the 240v (F-X50L) version, but that doesn't help me. I have a no power situation and I think I have a bad voltage select switch, the readings out of it don't seem right, but I don't know what they should be...

    Hello, I just picked-up a Macintosh Mr-71, and would like to know if I could get some opinions on speaker specs to look for as I shop for a pair for the 71, I know that speaker sound is really subjective, however if I can get some guidelines for sensitivity, etc that would really be appreciated...

    NAD 4020 Replacement Display Lamp

    Another vote for old Sherwood tuners (receiver)

    I'm new here and in the midst of trying to get a reasonably cheaply acquired Sherwood s-7200 back to full functionality. I have read a number of passing comments here about the quality of tuners in this model (and others like it). The tuner is all that is reliably working at the moment and I am...

    First time using a vintage tuner - Kenwood KT-5300 - issues?

    Hi Everyone, I've had a KT-5300 on my shelf for about a year, and I thought that I wasn't getting signal because I didn't have an external antenna. I purchased a wire antenna and it made no significant difference. There is maybe one or two channels on FM that I get reasonable signal from (still...

    2220B tuner won't go stereo

    As stated, I can't get my 2220B to play in stereo when listening to FM.. Is this a common thing? Maybe.i'm just dumb about antennas. Or is the whole thing whacked and I need a tech? It is currently hooked up to a standard bunny ear with a loop that is split three ways into a tv, a Nikko budget...

    First attempt at FM alignment

    I have a Technics SA5400X receiver that I got for parts and just completed its restoration. The tuner seems to be working, although reception is quite weak, it only picks very few stations and it is pretty noisy. I therefore decided to use it to try my first ever alignment. I currently do not...

    Yamaha T-1

    I am the original owner of a Yamaha T-1 FM tuner, purchased in about 1980. The sensitivity and selectivity have declined over the years and it will no longer pull in my favorite low powered stations. I recently replaced it with a Pioneer F-99X based on favorable reviews on the FM tuner website...

    SHERWOOD S2100 "Motor Boating" on 3/4 of AM dial

    The tuner is working OK. FM sounds OK. AM sounds great too but only within the higher 1/3 of the dial. When tuning within the first 2/3 of the dial, there is motor boating. I'm going to sell the tuner. Would be great to have the motor boating fixed first but I don't want to put $ into this, as I...
