Hello, I saw in a previous post that you re-capped a Sony TA-E77ESD. Was wondering if you could answer some questions for me and if you had any advice on the process.

Hi Mr Kale,
I have read with admiration your rebuild of F-2507 driver boards for Sansui AU-20000.
Would you happen to have a spare blank board per chance ?
Or maybe a link to a company where you had them manufactured ?

Regards,
Marc

Hello.

I have a Spectral DMA-180. One channel has a large output offset and it's very unstable, along with a loud humming sound. After re-soldering the working channel, I discovered that the culprit was a transistor in a metal housing marked SIVN 0535N2 9212.

I found your thread
Spectral DMA180 - multiple issues where you asked about the transistor type, but you didn't get a response.
These transistors are the same in both channels, unlike your amplifier.

Were you able to determine the type of these transistors? I clearly need a replacement, but I don't even know what it is. The component doesn't ring like a bipolar transistor; it might be a field-effect transistor.

Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks for posting the instructions and pictures of when you changed the belts on your Kenwood KX1030 cassette deck, it was very helpfull. Mine is now up and running like a champ. Thanks again.

Looking for someone somewhere that might possibly have a schematic of the heat kit AR 1650 stereo receiver I know they are super rare. Need it to troubleshoot.

hi there, I'm considering getting the same alex 12 horn speakers you have. I see you have the active versions, I already have nice amps so I was going to get the passive ones. Any options I should ask Shakuto about or for? lol would they put in some fancy crossover parts if I asked? or should I ask them to install isoacoustics gaia feet? did yours already come with feet?

Hey dude I couldn't wait lol and I ordered a pair of alex 12 passive speakers, currently waiting for them to be built.

Trying to work on a Heath kit AR 1650 stereo receiver. Does anyone have a schematic on this receiver? It’s very hard to repair it without a schematic. Thank you.

Can a Counterpoint SA-5000 power supply be retrofitted to work on a SA-3000? If so, any ideas of the cost and benefits of the upgrade?

And again ...

Did you ever sell the Kyocera PL-910? I am on the hunt for that specific turntable. I am a long time Kyocera employee.

Thanks.

Good evening, the reason for contacting you is that in the past you posted schematics and parts list for a RCA RS-199B tube amp. I am unable to read clearly the copies you posted and was wondering if you still had copies that were sharper I can obtain from you? Thank you

Hi Ray, I love the vp-7725D on your bench. The price is far more than I can justify. Is there a distortion analyzer that you would recommend? One channel is OK. The Sound Technology 1700b I have is not working, obsolete op amps are not helping!

If I had it to do all over again I'd go with the QuantAsylum QA-403.
