This is the lighter half of my 2nd best score ever. Fully functional but was going to break the cable tuning a new station four times a day sooner or later and I had a Mil-Spec Onkyo from five years later that does signal path a little better & pushbutton tuning. My own Flouro amp is about 90 percent up to spec on one channel and the runt of the litter=thus not worth recapping, IMO.

Just wondering if it's worth more to someone else than it is to me as a fully functional ornament with AM bar antenna no less. , I'd be looking for about 2X the last AudioKarma price, less if delivered in Denver Metro Area.

Im always interested in seeing/learning about rare/obscure pieces of equipment, stuff that still isnt on YT or popular at all.

New to this sub; sorry if this post is useless but is this any good? My dad also has 2 huge Radford speakers from the 70s... They sound really good!

Hello everyone,

I recently found two Technics SL-1200 Mk3 turntables in an old cabinet of the company I took over. These things haven't been used for at least ten years. I know absolutely nothing about vinyls or turntables. I plugged one and it lit up. I played with the buttons and switches until I heard a loud noise and smoke came out of it, so I immediately unplugged it.

Now I feel bad for what I did to what I just found out is quite a valuable piece of audio tech and I want to fix it. What do you think happened that caused this smokey breakdown and how could I fix it?

Also, both turntables are lacking a headshell. Do you know where I could find these spare parts? I'm located in the Philippines.

Thank you for your assistance.

Find one in good shape on Facebook for $60. It silver faced with wood panels.

Never seen a Samsung before. Any thoughts?

Picked up this quartet cab with the intention of using it as a veneer project. The main woofer had a very badly done repair done to it. Found a recone kit at simply speakers. First time attempting a full rebuild. Pretty happy.

Summing to a mono amp do i need to worry about channel feedback? Should i use resistors in the summing circuit?

Upstairs setup. LEDs swapped in by previous owner, opened the guts and cleaned it up a bit with deoxit..only issue is the tuner, it goes in and out. I’ll need to spend more time to repair. Phono stage sounds amazeballz when tested. Now I need to get another TT (maybe a Sony to complete an all-Sony setup? ;minus the JBLs, this marriage sounds too good) I have a Sony CD player I’m using as a transport on the aux input. Sounds good so far.

Anybody have suggestions for a Sony TT to pair with?

I am trying to bring back a SYLVANIA SC 264K chassis R16-4.

I have got the GARRARD 3250 turn table working properly.

The only issue I’m having now is the Right channel “speaker” is not working properly.

I could find a sweet spot on the volume range where it would kick in and sounded great.

I cleaned the pots and this made things worse. Now it has to be almost full blast before the right channel kicks in. Now though it never becomes clear. Very interesting and out and has terrible static.

I can’t find schematics to get yet. I know it’s in comprehensive serve manual 12b but I can’t find it either.

Any one able to point me in a direction of what I can check on the amp?

It feels like it is in the volume pot. When it was coming in it is very clear and good quality.

I’ve checked other functions. Tape in, FM, AM, and record. It all has same issue with right speaker.

Edit: Radio unit is a RS 350.

I pulled it and reflowed some solder joints. Put everything back together and the sound was great for 5 mins. Then it all went out again on right channel.

My parents own this old stereo system and want me to get rid of it. But I can’t bring myself to throw it out - it’s too pretty. Does anyone know anything about it? Do you think someone would want it? Is it worth anything?

I bet it works because it’s been preserved like a museum piece for many years and used very little. Unfortunately it doesn’t have speakers anymore so I can’t be certain.

Here are a few model numbers in case that helps:

EQ-550 (equalizer) CA-550 (amplifier) FM-550 (tuner) MT-6360 (turntable)

I know the cab space looks tight, but I installed 2 PC fans (top & back) pulling hot air out & pushing cool air in. Stays cool all day long!

Picked this up for $200. The veneer is pretty shot, but as it sits on my rack you won't see it. It's going to need to be serviced at some point anyway. But man I am enjoying the sound. Newer to HiFi, and this has been something I've really been focusing on for a bit. The stoke is high!

Here are a couple blasts from the past. The laser disc was a dud idea from the start. The Lexicon was a LucasFilm THX surround sound processor. They were both top of the line stuff and stupid expensive and now you can hardly give them away.

This set of Harman Kardan Citation Sixteen and Seventeen amp and preamp has found its forever Home in my vintahe HiFi collecrion. Will be installing it this weekend and lightning up the neighbors 😎😎😎

Hey guys! I'm planning to upgrade my entire living room interior and thought a nice budget turntable could be needed. I'm thinking of buying the Fluance RT82 or a Syitren Paron record player but I'm still open to suggestions since everything's not final yet anywa. Thoughts?
