What's on your bench?

Sansui Louie

I'm changing the tone of this thread a bit from it's original state.

What is on your bench right now, i.e. what are you working on?

Sansui 6060 getting some tuner attention, on mine.

Sony TC-K7II needing a lube job and some rubber...next up Marantz 2325 for tuner contact cleaning followed by a Yammie CA-1010 needing relay replacement followed by a 'sui 9090db needing the R12/green LED fix followed by a Wharfedale purple donut tweeter rehab surgery followed by....Should I continue???...:sigh:

Oh, did I forget to mention all the tube gear I have needing some love???:tears:
 
Fisher 400, 500B, and 500C. Well, the 400 is physically on the bench. Winter's not over yet. :-)

EDIT: Oh, and I still have iambiglou's Dyna preamp to go through. Fortunately he's a very patient fellow!
 
upgrading xovrs on some minimus 7s. on sat will be checking out aonther AKrs mystery homebrew amp for the trouble.
 
Trying to tweak the feedback circuit from some vintage LWE 1A feedback speakers to a Sansui AU-517 integrated. It's a bit like tightening the bolts on the Frankenstein monster....just...so...IT'S ALIIIIIIVE!
 
Fisher 440-T that is in need of a recap. After that I am going to give my realistic STA-85 some love. It is starting to do some strange things. Like the lights dimming at higher volumes or the light for the signal strength meter (which I think should only come on when I stitch to FM or AM) comes on with loud bass.
 
Let's see -
A Crown D-150A, finishing up an H/K-930, (2) Dyanaco PAT-4s (recapping - I love these), Kenwood KR-6600 (FM problem), Kenwood KR-9600, Marantz 2270, a pet invisible electronic fence driver (converting to a different freqency so I can use two at once for two different pets), lots of lamps being built, - my bench is pretty big.

Recapping a Concept 4.5d receiver.

next up, recapping a Dual 721 TT. Then recapping an Adcom GFA-2. Oh and maybe recapping my HP 200CD sig gen.
 
Rebuilding Ohm F's, new foam on Mach one's, rewiring & new post on Bozak's and AK'er "NakDoc" is going to overhaul Holman preamp for me.
 
3 Amps

Marantz model 32 amp (e-bay find, replacing some caps, setting DC offset, bias, and current limit). Marantz model 240 amp (original owner, replacing output trannies, set dc offset and bias). Perreaux PMF2350 (original owner, setting dc offset and check bias). Would like a schematic for the Perreaux if anybody has a copy. Perreaux is stingy about them.

1. Just finished a KLH 17 recap--treble is amazing, bass is lacking. Need to re-dope the surrounds this weekend. If anyone has any other suggestions, lemme know.

2. 3 Dynaco A-25 speakers are in the process of being refurbished and the two best mirrored cabinets are being chosen for the solen caps that just arrived from PE.

Here's the thread http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/showthread.php?t=145409&highlight=a25
My housemates got pissed about the wood dust floating around the house so I'm waiting until this weekend to do the work outside.

3. Pioneer SA-9100 PS recap and protection relay repair is on hold.

I'm still gathering cap info, measuring cap sizes and trying to source locally, as many parts as possible.

4. Sony PS-230 turntable. Mechanics are sticky. I guess the grease has solidified, idler wheel and spring are tired. Was working great but now it's running slowwww
 
The only thing I put on a bench is my fat ass. Maybe that is why I don't own one. A bench that is, not the fat ass part. I got that covered.:butt2:
