Hi! Do you know where I might find a dearing support piece for the 1229 model? Klaus on Vinyl Engine had been selling them, but the place where he had them manufactured is no longer in business. Might you have any ideas? Thanks, Mark

Hi Dave,
Richard at AntiqueRadios recommended you to replace the lamp on my Realistic STA-240 receiver. The burned out bulb is hard wired/soldered and mounted on a small board with designation ISOSAKI 7186. The voltage across its leads with the power on is 7.1 or 7.2 V AC. Do you have an replacement bulb for this receiver, or know where to get one?
Should I replace it with an incandescent bulb or LED?
Thanks, Emil

Is there a chance you still have the power supply schematic to the Sound Valves VTP-100?
I have the circuit schematic but the power supply part seems to unavailable.

Found this in my dad's belongings.

Hi Glenn, Hope you and your family are well. Curious if there will be a meet up this spring? Last meet you played a box scags OUT OF THE BLUES. Had to buy it great record. Hopefully see you soon Steven

I have a Sansui AU 888 that has hum on both speaker outputs. I am seeing 1.2 V on both right and left speaker terminals. The right channel pre-out works fine when plugged into a separate power app but the left channel is showing 10 to 20 V off the left preout jack while the right channel output check is showing 2 mV.

Hi Tom, I have been sent your way from ARF. I have just come into possession of a Stromberg-Carlson 642A and I am having the darndest time locating a parts list and alignment data for this tank. The Rider's schematic does not provide a legend for most of the numbered circuit labels. Would you be able to point me in the right direction? Many thanks.

I am currently restoring it and have the right channel playing well through a separate power amp.But I’m having a heck of a time trying to figure out why the left channel has 20 V on the preamp left output.

I picked up a fairly rare Sansui 888 integrated amp at the recycle center someone was throwing out!wood cabinet and all in very nice condition!

Are those home made speaker cabs in your avatar??

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,
