After studying the schematic I think I've found the best place to make this addition but wanted to see if anyone else has done this before and if what I'm thinking of doing is the...

    Yamaha C2X DC at output

    Hi, I have a C2X that I absolutely love, but I have a problem in that there is DC present on the right channel. While it is playing at a steady volume it's a negligible amount, but when I turn the volume up or down fast it puts out enough DC that it causes my amplifier to shut off. Also when...

    Weird power issue on this yamaha tc 720?

    I have this yamaha tc 720 and apart from all the belts having turned to mush it has a weird issue. I can't really describe it so I made a video. It seems it loses and quickly regains power every second or so. Is this due to the belts not being there or is something else going on?

    C-70: mistake around zeners near T211/T212 ?

    Hello, I am repairing a nice C-70 pre. Between T211 ant T212 (symetrical sub-power), are two 27V zener diodes (D126 / D127). The glue used to stick the two 220/35 capacitors corroded both zeners and one had a broken leg. No reference is visible on them, so I took the schematic and realized that...
