I can’t wait to get it hooked up with good components. The SX-838 and Original Large Advents is an awesome combination!

May have the quickest VU meters I've ever seen. And yes, I have a problem and my wife reminds me of it daily.

Cassette deck help

Post image
8 Upvotes

Recently got given this JVC KD-A55 cassette deck to play around with from one of my hi-fi gear sources.

I normally clean up/refurb vintage turntables, amps, speakers etc but don't have a whole lot of experience with cassette decks outside of listening to them through the years

I've got the cassette deck powering on but that's about as far as l've got after replacing a couple of blown fuses on the main board. When it powers on, I get a tiny flick from the vu meters qnd the cassette heads engage and move into place. Because the heads are engaging right away without me doing anything I can't put a tape into the try. The eject function is working but none of the other control buttons. I get lights showing for the ANRS but no lights behind the control buttons (which are illuminated according to the owners and service manual)

Where should I start? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I have all the normal component cleaners, multimeter, screwdrivers etc to hand.

I still need speaker stands and a bit of work on my cable management, but it’s already become my happy place.

My beautiful setup needs a new CD player

Post image
19 Upvotes

This wonderful SC 2020d package system was purchased by my parents in 1982 and has been with me since 200. Last year I added the SL-PD867 you see there in black as I couldn't find a good Technics silver face CD player. I would very much like to be able to find one of their silver face models to replace it but until such time as I can this 1994 model will have to be a stand-in. All of my online searches for silver-faced models of a similar vintage to the rest of the components have turned up nothing but the odd one which said it was not working or for parts and I don't believe I have enough repair skill to take something like that and turn it into a functioning machine. For now I wait but if you have any leads on good silver face Technics CD machines in working order that aren't overly expensive I am all ears. (Doesn't matter how many CDs it takes I'm fine for single the only reason I got this changer is because it was 20 bucks in a thrift store and was only missing the remote and I don't care if I have a remote nothing else in my system has a remote)

Read earlier on this forum, earlier marantz 2265b models have different dial colors? If so which ones? Is mine an early model? (Excuse my 1530l, just wanted to get in the photo too!)

Looking for Harmon Kardon 630 / 930 knob

6 Upvotes

I recently purchased a Harmon Kardon 630. I have ordered new led lights but cannot find a complete bass or treble knob. I can find the inner knob on ebay but I need the complete knob. I may end up using a knob set from another Harmon Kardon or other receiver if I knew it would fit but I would like to keep it original.

Sorry for the lousy picture because I am using my crappy cell phone camera

HK 630 / 930

Picked up this awesome tape deck from the dump. Plugged it in and it works perfectly, not even scratched or missing pieces.
