My repair of my 727 a few weeks ago went up in smoke, same issue. I will replace the next element on each side of the fried resistor as you suggested, but after that I will need you once again to spout pertinent info!!:sigh:

So get well soon...we all count on you!!!
 
Mark it's great to see you posting. I'm working this weekend but off M. Let me know if there's anything you need.

I'm glad to see you posting mark. I'm not a religious man but i'll make you a deal. I'll pray for your eventual recovery....If you pray for me while I continue to operate on the guts of my sa-9800 :D

I'm kidding of course, we all wish you the best.
 
Great news I am glad you are doing better Mark. I am praying for you to make a full recovery. I have been away from AK for a bit and late to the game but I am in for helping out with the fund. PM me with the info.

Robie thanks for stepping up and getting this started.

I am amazed at the people here at AK there is not another place like it anywhere.
 
Mark- never interfaced with you here, but you are spoken SO highly of on AK. I hope to chat with you in the near future!! Get better soon, brother!! :-)
 
Good to see you posting Mark!

Mark it's good to see you are out of the weeds. Here's to clear sailing. :beerchug:

AK isn't the same without you. I trust you are taking comfort knowing this many people are walking with you on this journey.

I'm going to turn to my left, click on my SX-1080 you helped me rebuild, and listen so some vinyl in your honor :music:

Cheers!
 
Agree with Grog. As Soon as I found out about Mark, I fired up the 1010(after finally renewing the Filter Caps. Last thing done BTW Mark) and it's staying on until he get out of Rehab and back on his feet. Figure it can get better sounding while he is healing.

Just think,:scratch2: if all the PIONEER gear MARK guided to full health were turned on, we'd probably cause a NATIONWIDE BROWNOUT! :music::music:

TURN 'EM ON! TURN 'EM UP! Let Mark Hear them from across the Country.

Another day closer to better! Hang in there buddy... lots of folks are keeping track of your progress and enjoying the heck out of good reports! :thmbsp:
 
For those of you checking on Mark's status, I spoke with his dad today and he's doing better each day. He's had some trouble getting on the internet recently but with the efforts of his brother and a friend, hopefully those have been resolved.

His dad was getting a couple of accessories at BB that will make his browsing easier. Your contributions will certainly take care of them. More later.
 
This thread keeps me coming back and back again ---My prayers go out to Mark.
Get better my friend!! We all want to see you at the AK Fest...James
 
Mark,
I'm so glad to hear you are on the mend. I wish you a quick recovery. Everyone is pulling for you.
I had the pleasure of meeting you when you painstakingly brought my SX-1980 back from being a doorstop. I listen to it almost daily.
Godspeed.

Robie, I don't know you but, you are to be commended for all of your wonderful help and support in Marks recovery.

Bob we gotta be careful, I'm on SSI, and am applying for Medicaid, and financial stuff could affect me horrendously.

EXAMPLE; Guy on SSI In Illinois got $800 cash after a newspaper article detailing his Gas bill problems, to pay his Gas bill, and the $800 was promptly deducted from his next SSI payment, had the donees paid the bill directly, it would have only deducted 25% of that

so this needs to be done very carefully, because Medicaid will dial in a spend-down contemplating assets.

Thus this machine and access is AK's and AK decides to store it with me?

p.s. it took considerable effort to do this entire post.
