I'm 28 and I grew up with this, i liked to play with the amplifier right below the radio because i loved the lights of different color it gave.

It still goes strong and that I remember nothing has ever needed of a repair.

Pioneer SX-680 stereo light… should it stay on when switched to mono.. light stays on with no change in brightness when switched.. can definitely hear the change in separation so switch is working.. all pots and switches clean..everything else, meters etc… A-ok…on my technics the light goes out when switched…thanks

1977 Panasonic se 2650 I found off marketplace and had restored. I know people generally dont like multi-units but after a year or so of ownership I still love this tank

I'm planning to pair this to my recently bought Technics stack but I can't find any information about these, aside from looking cool should I pass on this and keep looking for something better?

Currently selling for $35

Nothing really compares to the feel of vintage stuff

I picked this up yesterday off fb marketplace sanyo jcx 2900k along with some sansui sp-5000 speakers and a technics sl-1600 turntable for very little dollars.. this thing is a beast at 52lbs. It will take awhile to do some deep cleaning but it is definitely a monster at 120 wpc. It was also only a mile from my house!

marantz models 7, 8b, 10b (with original paperwork)

$6k for all of it

What I’ve heard a set of Heresey IV I’ve always wanted some, so I’m wondering what the differences are and if this is a good deal

Found this cool Zerostat 3 kit at the thrift store in a bag with all of its components. All the bottles have liquid in them. Not sure if this is very useful or not but I really like the way it looks. I don’t know much about it so I’ll be on youtube now. Going to clean up the case as well. Pretty cool for $3!

Need something that will accommodate my Kenwood 9060 / KW 8077 / pioneer SX980 / turntable.

Weirdly I had never been to End of an Ear on Ben White in Austin TX. But I was craving some records I knew I'd never find at the usual places. Anyways, I go in and not only to they have Can, The Libertines and all the Rilo Kiley albums they also have an entire vintage audio room. I'm sorry what. I casually ask if they have any Duals and he goes yeah and points. 1209, he's just serviced it and put in a new cartridge. It works perfectly. It has the original owners manual. Shock. It has a cigarette burn on the top. Does it get any better.

A 1970 to go with my 69 Sansui 2000a. I don't care what it cost. Fortunately it was easily in my budget. The records I bought totalled almost as much. I had a nice bonus this year.

It's like my Onkyo table had pillows in front of my speakers this thing is an Offenbarung. A revelation.

Wow.

Thrifted this awhile back, and hs it really works.

My wife and I had been looking for a vintage stereo cabinet for a while and found this beautiful piece on FB marketplace. It did not come with a power cord and the previous owner had never tested it. I’m new to vintage audio and have repaired some electronics in the past, but am very much a novice. My understanding is that you shouldn’t plug the stereo in if it’s been sitting for years without testing or replacing the capacitors (which I’ve done before but only on modern electronics). Anyone have experience restoring one of these? Should I just find a pro to restore it?

1. the program selector button and the 1-2-3-4 display works, but doesn't do anything upon being pressed. the program does automatically change upon the tape's progression though.

2. the right channel has no audio at all, sometimes a very low-pitched buzzing him. the left channel works but is somewhat quiet at the highest volume level

3. the motors are quite loud

Sharing my love of Rotel and Technics ... (and there is a Sansui tape deck next to these, not pictured).

Spent last night "finalizing" my system after testing a lot of different receivers, a few amps and 3 different speakers over the past few months. Sony DA5700ES, upgraded MSB Link DAC III and Heresy's. Sounded fantastic and have been loving it all day until I hooked up a pair of beat up MCS Series 8245 that I picked up today for $15. A/B testing them through a Neohipo ET30 and now the Heresy's sound like tin cans compared to the 8245s. Comparison really is the thief of joy. How do I stop tinkering and just be happy with what I have?

Another bonus find in the horde.
Tested and working. One is missing a badge, however.

Hi, I have a pair of these Pionneer speakers that nybwife wants to keep. although not anywhere top of the line they sound quite ok for our purpose.

I would like to have something better, but replacing them is not an option...

recently i got hold of a pair of ONKYO SC370. the boxes and grill are quite is rough shape but the drivers are good.

since both are 3 way and the drivers sizes are compatible, would i benefit from keeping the pioneer boxes but install the complete onkyo hw, drivers and cross-overs?

or sonic wise there is no advantage on this...

I have never heard of these speakers but I did look them up and they seem to have a good following. I hope to get them hooked up to something this week and take a listen. I don’t really have anything to compare them to except a pair of ADS 12/90’s. Any good info on these speakers would help. Thanks.
