Good luck getting that Sony repaired.

That doesn’t make me feel better. Thanks for the reply though. I feel like it’s a gamble taking it to a repair man. I’d like to buy one if I see one come up with no error light on
Thank you for helping Rick K. complete the pickup of the equipment. He is quite excited about the speakers in particular. I hope the rest of your relocation goes smoothly.
Hello!
I read you have a copy of the repair manual for the mcs3260 receiver, it was posted a few years ago so I'm not sure if you still have it, but if you do I really could use a copy for the tuner section. Mine has an issue with the FM Mute circuit,
My name is Robert, thanks.

oh and i forgot to mention, i've scoured the internet for a service manual but came up short.. : |
Hi Goldie, I hope you are well.
I have been working on a 3060 and was hoping to find out the idle current bias and make the necessary adjustments as one channel is slightly lower that the other. is there a way to find out these spect so i could tweak it? i'm reaching out directly as i noticed you had some good knowledge in some of your forum thread replies. cheers in advance!

ah yes, I've bumped into that article on my deep dive. i guess the 3080 and 3060 are quite similar. I'll reference this and se if I can locate those fixed idle current resistors. I appreciate the word of caution for getting the value wrong and unleashing the amps ghost smoke haha..

I had one other question that I thought you might be savvy about -the power meters on this 3060 appear to be working although they don't travel much range or see much action unless you really crank the volume pot when then the speakers are silly loud. is this normal?

There's meter calibration instructions in the 3080 manual. I suspect they're probably fine though; 'normal' listening levels would typically only be 1-3W.
Like your Avatar! Same color as my old '74 I foolishly traded for a 4x4 pickup that I needed more. Sometimes need trumps want but want stays with ya as regret.
Matt, I need your address so when I travel to your place tomorrow, the 29th, to drop off my 1050 for you to fix. Thanks, Joe
Still here. MX-113 and MC-2120 Amp running Nakamichi CR-5A and MCD205 CD player. Also, MA-6200 used as pre-amp driving MC-2125 amp with Denon DP-40 table. Speakers, original JBL L100s and McIntosh XR-16s. All running nicely.
Hi jobrewer1983,

I do not know how I missed your reply to my ad on craigslist. Sorry about that.

Yes, I do have another W-5M that is completely assembled and working. Give me a call if you are interested.

Thanks,

Tim

I never check this part of AK, I did not even see this till now. A year later!
Thank you very much for your post. I had sound flickering on and off (mostly off) and auto stop and reverse function not working. You just saved my life.

Lslutsky59, glad to of been some help to you and thanks for letting me know.
Hey - I have way too many vintage turntables. If you are in the U.S. I might be able to hook you up.

If you want I can send you some details. The shipping costs suck so if you can find something reliable close to home you'll do better off but your selection might be lacking.

Just let me know what you might be looking for. Have many Technics including linear tracking as well as some other brands.

Sorry; I almost never checked this forum anymore. I hope your message was not sitting too long.

Personally, I prefer the 4344 to the L300 and 4333. It really is an amazing speaker and sounds smoother to me. I do still have the crossover boards, and they are biampable. My email is ericamador@gmail.com. Thanks.

Andy, if you can message me on Facebook messenger "Bill Powers" I should be able to send the PDF. AK wont let it upload on the thread or in the email service.1745273643662.png

Hi Peter
I found a post about a Braun CSV500 and you said you worked at Braun and had a CSV500 too.
I would like to ask you since the service manual is not easy to follow woh can I measure the quiescent current (current draw) if I translated the manual well, it should be perform trhough variable resistance R615 & R715 but where I sould measure? where to locate the multimeter probs to get that value?
Regards

Roberto

If i remembr correct we had a fuse ( blown ) with wires soldered on the end caps. These wires were connected to a multimeter measuting mA.
This fuse replaced the fuse on the power board( one fuse for each channel if i rememner correct)
Saw your post from Feb. about the tonearm on your LX55. Have you resolved it? I've got an LX510 right here and have been looking at the tonearm mechanism and have a few thoughts.
Hi Zonker, not sure if you're still active on here. I wanted to get some info on the 4333 crossover you're selling. Are you able to biamp with it? On the fence right now between a 4333 and a 4344 build. I have almost all the parts except crossover's and the 10" woofer if I went with the 4344. Have you heard both? Any opinions or suggestions?
Subject: Fisher CR-5120 Cassette Deck, Plays great but cannot engage the record function: Depress pause then play & record simultaneously & they will not lock in position. Removed the faceplate & examined points where lubrication was factory applied. A shiny black lubricant (like lithium) not hardened on the moving interface points or surfaces. Suggestions? Richard

Suggest first check the write protect tabs on the cassette edge. It's to prevent accidental erasure. Then check lock out parts in the transport, may out of adjustment. Also, pushing on the controls too hard in the write protect mode may have bent something. When users are not aware there was such a feature, can caused more issues. Either way, best to ensure this function is working before going further.

Aware of protective tabs on the cassette case, had not considered excessive force on function buttons. Good tip, will check before going further.
