    Fisher RS 1022 revival

    In December of last year, I spent a few nights at my grandmother's house and remembered she had an old stereo in her garage I saw a few years ago (before I was into audio). I opened the closet door it was in and I was greeted by a beautiful Fisher RS 1022 stereo receiver and some lil Realistic...

    Sansui in the US

    I’ve been collecting and enjoying vintage audio gear my whole life, but rarely ever come in contact with Sansui gear, even before our hobby really caught on with the masses. I’ve almost always been on the West Coast - is this why? Did Pacific Stereo and other West Coast retailers not carry as...

    Hi! I have a vintage Pilot 3000 stereo cabinet (late 1960s?) that is having some audio problems. Sound comes out of the speakers when the radio is on, but not when the record player is playing. I thought it might need a new needle, but that didn't work. The record player works, but the sound...

    New to Me Akai GX-220D

    Just bought an Akai GX-220D from an estate sale. It was filthy, and probably hadn't been played in 20+ years. Spent the afternoon tearing it down, cleaning and lubing it, then cleaning all of the pots/switches/buttons. Just hooked it up, and it sounds and looks like it just rolled off the...
