    First time restorer sanity check

    Hi, I recently picked up a non-functional marantz 2238b and I've gotten it mostly working, but there is significant 60Hz noise/hum. Is that kind of expected when you're operating an amp all disassembled and splayed out on a bench? Basically, I'm not sure if this is a problem that I should be...

    This logo is making me thirsty! Can anyone help?

    Hi everybody. Just joined, hoping for any help with this, even a lead! Great speakers, but no other marks, letters or numbers anywhere. I’m not even quite sure what letter(s) I’m looking at. M? Is it (i n)? Somebody said they thought that’s a C in there! Maybe someone might recognize the...

    Importing Vintage Gear from Japan

    Hi all, apologies if this has been covered before. I'm looking into importing vintage gear (mostly amps and speakers) from Japan to Canada and I'm wondering if step transformers are the only way to handle the voltage conversion? Is there a way to modify the transformers internally? I will not be...

    Could use a bit of help with a Onkyo A-5

    Hello, I am currently trying to fix my fathers old Onkyo A-5 Integrated Amp. It would not start up or give any inclination that power was going through it, so I spent the past few days trying to figure out why when I discovered it was an issue with the thermal fuse in the power transformer...

    Vintage Jensen Speakers - Trying to ID!!!!

    Hi - I just received a pair of late fifties or early 1960's Jensen speakers that look to be a 4 or 5-way custom kit build of a Jensen factory set. Each cabinet has two crossover adjust knobs on the back. Pix is attached. This one on the dolly is top down. Pretty heavy and rear panel unscrews...

    Refurbishing AC connections on vintage receivers

    I have some vintage 70s receivers I would like to bring up to today's standards. The first thing that really annoys me are the two prong AC plugs with ancient wiring. But now we have the old problem of knowing where to stop. My take is: If I'm going to upgrade the AC plug and cut a hole in...

    Help choosing the best quadraphonic receiver

    I have been using a Pioneer QX-949 as my main amp for several years. I’ve been happy with it, but I recently acquired a Sansui QRX-7001 and a Kenwood KR-9940. All these receivers are quadraphonic. From what I can tell they all seem to have similar features. My question is, which of these...

    Interesting basement find.......

    So I’ve been clearing out my grandpa’s basement after he passed away and came across an interesting piece of equipment shoved under about six decades of old taxes and art supplies. A General Electric full on cabinet style intigrated turntable speaker thing? I’m here for the next few days and...

    Sony SS-TL5. Hot DAMN these are good!

    So, I've been kind of bummed since I sold my Wilson Watt/Puppy 5s a few months back. I never really thought about keeping them as I couldn't really justify a $4,000 pair of garage speakers (or the kind of gear needed to really take advantage of them). Alas, a kind AKer took them off my hands and...

    Marantz 2265B Bias Adjustment

    Hi all, When adjusting the idle-current, should one channel be positive and the other negative, or should they both be positive? Sounds like a silly question, I know. I set the left channel to 20mV, but the right channel for whatever reason would only allow to go to -20mV. Else it would just sit...
