this 50+ watts per channel receiver is a nice receiver for servicing, the service manual is well printed and useful, One can easily be fool by the name JVC but I was surprise with this receiver. Analog power meters are a +.
Nice. It's a big receiver! I got one for free yesterday. Couple of lights was not working and he told me that the right channel was silent? Anyway I was happy to get it! And I vacuumed the inside with a big paint brush as much as I could? And then I used electronic spray on every potentiometer inside. Those trim potentiometers get all some adjustments when wet? So I moved them back and forth a couple of times and set them where they was before!! And I cleaned the casing with a cloth! No problem what so ever both channels play.
I've a bit of a soft spot for JVC gear. My JR is an S201 and I'm due to dive back into it soon. Initially just did a cleaning and a quick check through. I also have the A-X1 and an A-X5 which I really like the sound of. Like your channel and subbed. BTW: I also use the toothbrush/iso method but I picked up a tip from Trevor's Bench. Right after the scrub, lay a paper towel (I use blue shop cloths) over the scrubbed area and then lightly scrub the towel with the brush. Mops up the nasty stuff quite nicely.
@@VintageAudioFever Yeah. Don't want to but so many have leaked and the rest aren't testing well. Fortunately, there are only 2 expensive caps. The rest are bog standard. Since they lasted this long, I am going to replace them all with wet type again. I don't know enough about the circuits to know if I could substitute the solid electrolyte devices.
Well I heard that you like a challenge lol but really I thought it was gonna be a quick wham bam thank you mam type job with the way it was working and sounding. But that's why I brought it to you to find any underlying issues that needed to be addressed. Thanks again appreciate it
