If yours has the board shown in post #3 that's likely the cause of no hifi audio. Those silver SMD caps are bad and leak and ruin traces. There's also one on the bottom of the head drum. If I get everything up and going on this I'll probably recap the power supply as it runs hot

Have an HR-S5800 coming for parts.....

Everything inside was really pretty clean. It's basically 98% functional. Just the left channel audio being low and distorted. If tested a bunch of capacitors and they all check out, and the broken trace jumpers all ohm out too, so I don't know what's up. I may need a parts unit. I may see about...

Got any pics of the inside?

I might try that. I didn't install the os on these computers otherwise I woulda during setup

I was gonna get a Flex HTX but I got a good deal on a 4x10HD. Gonna be spendy if you also get the DIRAC license

The covers for the output transistors, don't touch em they'll give you a tingle.....

I was able to pick up my 4 fin for $100 locally and it already had a WOAD power supply and Don's DCP board in it so...... I'm also on the hook for warranty so I accept the risk of having 4 less fins. For You guys who build em professionally I can see why you would avoid the 4 fins. FWIW If Joe...

I pretty much am the IT department at my office, the head office is hiring some guy to look over cyber security, which is good because I have no formal IT education. I want my co workers to take a basic computer course because apparently I can't explain the difference between Google...

After dealing with Win 11/Office 365/Teams/Onedrive at work I'm convinced M$ hates their customers. Everything you try to save in office defaults to one drive and it just creates headaches for me because everyone loses documents

Info from these videos:

Me?! Cheap?! Nahhh......

I'm running a 4 fin, granted it just runs a set of compression drivers, it's never been hot. Even running Dahlquist DQ-10s and my ghetto line arrays I havent felt it get too hot. If you have 4 ohm speakers you might have trouble. you also have to drill some extra holes in a 4 fin to make the...

Some more progress, some HiFi audio on the left now, much lower than the right but there, I suspect poor connections on my sound board recap botch job

More progress! The guides are okay. But there's another nasty SMD 3.3 uf 50v capacitor on the bottom of the head drum that is junk. Couldn't get this to track any tape for shit. Swapped out now we're good. This works for many JVC VCRs of this vintage. All the info in this thread is found on...

My mini bike 'ould fit

Rig up a speaker switch and use the single drivers with acoustic music and the 2 ways with the more "produced" music If I get bored I still have those tang band w4 2142s I can throw in bass reflex boxes and an SET Amp still sitting on the rack. Patch it in with the MiniDSP and gooooo!

I would, it might prevent you from smoking expensive output transistors

Eh mine's not but I did have issues. My build threads are there for the world to see.... Look at Eric's (Hexis22) build threads, that's how to do it. My threads are kinda not how to do it

I got by with a multimeter, variac, and dim bulb tester for my two WOPL builds. Yes you have to buy the output transistors and they're not cheap but White Oak is selling them cheaper than Mouser or Digi Key. A big hot iron (60 watt) is recommended for those backplane boards as they soak a lot of...
