Some of the pots were a little stiff and like the bass control was quite tight on the negative side of center. But after I eased it all the way to the stop and twisted it through it's full rotation it smoothed right out. Same with the volume control that was feeling pretty gummy. A few moderate...

OK, I guess i will start putting it all together. R:glasses1:

listening test Before going any further I have been doing a listening test. First off after I put knobs on and gave them a few turns I could feel them loosen and smooth up. So I gave them all a good rapid twist session and they seemed to respond to that. The guy I bought the unit from said he...

Great Resource NavLinear, thanks for sending that. I checked them out looks like a first rate operation. I will be ordering one of those manuals. R:glasses1:

The light bars are installed! OK, I got them in! No big deal really, just had to remove one tuner pulley and the 6 screws holding the tuner plate and move it away from front of the chassis about 1/2 an inch. The light fixtures slipped in and buttoned up no problem. Got tuner pulley back on and...

Elektrotanya.com help Is there someone here that has access to Elektrotanya.com that would be willing to download a manual and Email it to me. They show 3 manuals for the 5000X if you do a search of ALL categories. the one I am interested in is the one with 31 pages as it has 4 more pages that...

I have had a service manual from the start but it doesn't show anything about assembling/dissembling anything really. I went to Elektrotanya.com. The manual I have has 27 pages, one of those @ Eletrotanya has 31 pages but I was unable to figure out how to successfully make a download from that...

I'm Prayin' Looks like I will have to release the tuner cables and remove the tuner plate at least on one end to maneuver that main light fixture in behind the tuner dial plate. I'll be tackling that tomorrow. Good Night R:glasses1:

I have the Service Manual Yes, I have it but it doesn't really go into the disassemble/ assemble aspect except an exploded view of the knobs and front panel. had I taken it apart myself I would have a better understanding but I got it with the light fixtures out. I know I will be able to get...

Reinstalling Light bars When i bought this 5000x the previous owner had attempted to replace some burnt out face plate, tuner and meter lights. I have acquired and installed the lights but dam if I can figure out how the light fixtures go back in behind the front panel. Can anyone help me with...

Static electricity Seems like I remember something about grounding yourself to avoid damaging circuitry with static electricity. I am concerned as I am replacing some lights and have to touch stuff in there to do that. R:glasses1:

when you say tunning circuitry are you referring to the mechanical tuning units that have the fins gears an axles. Sorry This is really first real attempt at anything on this level so my question are going to be elementary. I appreciate the help. I really want to do this and not screw anything...

The unit is my Sansui 5000X receiver. I can swing away the tuner scale. Are talking about the compressed air. If so after that is it advisable to attempt cleaning the chassis and circuit boards with some kind of solution? I did take some alcohol and Q-tips wipe a small area of exposed bare metal...

Chassis Clean up the entire chassis is covered with a moderate layer of crud. I woud like to atempt to clean it up. Could I get a run down on how to start with this? Blowing out with compressed air seems like a good place to start Yes/Now? If so then what because stuff looks a little more...

Thanks! R:glasses1:

powering up question wanting to power up the unit to see which lights are not working (the reason the amp is dissembled) should there be a load (speakers) on the system before turning on the power? Ric:glasses1:

5000x is mine Well I checked it out, ran it with a CD of Led Zeppelin, which I though was apropos little scratchy on the volume but sound OK considering the cheesy speakers. It has the proper F6013 amp boards, Wood box and all the parts I hope. Now what I ask myself. I know I want to clean...

flakey or corroded Now that is the kind of troubleshooting I am qualified to perform! Keep that kind of stuff coming.

Regulator Board Is the Regulator Board the main board that I have been warned to make sure it is the upgraded one(F6013) (OK looking back see that is the Amplifier board I am referring to) How big a repair is the Regulator board? Ric:glasses1:

Money Pit That is my fear, endless problems. I won't be offering anything like $75. Will be viewing @ 1:30 today. Any more warnings or encouragement please chime in now. Ric:glasses1:
