Just found Chris tonight , literally had my mind blown in this video. I'm wondering if some other vintage stereo repair guys go the extra mile like this and actually test the equipment as well as he does? To say you do it , and actually doing it.......two different things.

Thank you for the video Chris... I just pulled the trigger on a Siglent SDM3045X DMM... I also have a Rigol o-scope coming along with a UNI-T UTG962E Arbitrary Waveform Generator, and a bunch of other stuff. 33 years as a truck driver, shade tree mechanic, home owner, electrical, plumbing, etc... Tools up the wazoo. I discovered the vintage audio a year ago, two Sansui units, a 4000 and a 2000, they will be my first projects. I want to learn these repairs, as the stress of trucking and years in the oil fields have taken their toll on my body. Here in my area, shops are backed up for months, and it is not uncommon to have a year or longer wait. I know a few local guys that are doing these repairs out of their homes, and are backlogged for months themselves. I see a market here, just need to hit the books and really learn this stuff. Not afraid to dig in to a piece of gear, just need the practice and time. Simple stuff, crawl before I walk and then run. Thanks again for the videos Chris!

Beginner question. I've worked on a Marantz 1040 and it seems to work perfectly, all knobs and buttons are clean now and it outputs 24.9W/channel, bias set to 20mv and the other setting to 0v as per manual. The only thing I don't understand is when the input knob is on anything else but the source, you can hear the source leaking in mono through the speakers. Turning the volume to the middle lowers that sound. Is this normal behaviour ? Thanks for your video's.

Thank you. I have a Siglent 3045X DMM that I connect via it's USB connection to my Win 10 computer. I use Siglents Software utility called EasyDMM to capture what the DMM is reading to the computer. I then use a program called Flashback Express which allows you to capture and save the video data on your monitor to your computer. After that I use Divinci Resolve to edit the video that you see on RU-vid.

Had these on one amp as well.... In my case it was the filter caps, having internal connection problems... I removed them and tested them separate....some times it was good for minutes and then randomly draw some several 100mA dropped its voltage and came back good for minutes...never seen that before..and the other one was ok doing the same tests.... I left the faulty one on my lab-power supply for several hours under voltage and current control... Sometimes it even produces surges up to 500mA.... Strange... Now let see what the problem here... 😉 😊

I’m starting to wonder if my Pioneer receiver hasn’t started to do this. I thought it was just transients coming from the Bluetooth receiver because that’s all I ever run through it these days. What failing components are usually behind these spikes and offsets?
@vintageaudioaddict
@vintageaudioaddict Год назад
Lots of different failures can pop up in the older audio gear that are caused by a variety of reasons including defective transistors and capacitors. To start, I would check in the service manual for your receiver and see if it contains C1451 transistors. If it does that would be something to check out.

Part of the issue was caused by "Change On Sight" Transistors in the pre/power amp that have been known trouble makers for many years. The other issue was a regulated power supply problem that was also caused by a defective transistor. This issue was unrelated to the transistor issue in the Pre/Power Amp section.

Love all of your videos I’ve seen so far. Very informative. Coincidentally I just got a JVC ja s77, my second and it was working then I checked and adjusted the basic alignments. This unit has 3 that you can do with a multimeter. main amp center, main amp idling, and equalizer amp center. Well, the right channel of the idling current supposed to be 4.4 mvolts and it was around 50 mV so I adjusted down but wouldn’t come below 23 mV. This caused the right channel not to work at all. Adjusted back up further away from nominal and it would work again, but that channel was heating up more than the left. Anyways had to send it back. Might of been that potentiometer because it was erratic but because it wouldn’t come down enough probably more wrong than just the pot? Wasn’t going to pay full price for something broke.
@vintageaudioaddict
