Merry Christmas to all of you Phoenix friends

.... but how good it is?! Never seen this before. Anyone tried? https://youtube.com/shorts/5Qiru_fqdj8?feature=share

Don't know for you guys but I just love those old videos :) And there are lot them on youtube. Here is also one about transistors :) And of course, something classic about the weapons and hunting

Here is one nice instrumental

Here is another picture

Was reading around different articles and discussions and found something interesting. There was discussion about head replacing and a guy showed a graph picture that shows a PB FR when playing a test tape (10kHz, 400Hz and 3kHz). There was a diff about 1db between 400Hz and 3kHz. One other guy...

That cost about 240$ in Sweden. So much about that.

Can't believe :( That's what I'm talking about. We from EU don't have such a choice :( Same thing with a tapes, sometimes I have mixed feelings (anger, disappointment and depression) when I see eBay prices in the US.

I understand that but I don't have so much choice in Sweden as you guys have in the US, and I'm visiting your country every 3 or 4 years which is not so often. And even when there, I can't order anything because I'm almost never at the same place more than 3-4 days and besides, I don't think any...

In the case someone get a same problem, here are joints that have to be resoldered:

F***** joint are so small that crack is difficult to see without magnification. As I guy showed in a video I pointed before, everything looked OK, so he resoldered a whole area on that pcb. I thought, why not to check all joints instead and see if I can find something and there it was. All other...

Opened it today and found broken joints on the one transistor. Works like charm after reflow.

Bought today a 30W s.c. solder iron. Anyone who have worked with some serious soldering station will declare it as a joke. It will do the job but definitely not for fine electronics. It's first now I really appreciate my Metcal which is btw fixed now.

In that time I got my soldering station MX-500P-21 (which is a way too good for someone like me) and solder wire I wasn't even know that there is different kinds of solder wire. It was more like "this one is a better one, it has a solder paste inside" :) Same thing with a soldering station, I...

Thanx for answers, I got it, nothing to worry about that sw. Should just change a STTC-138 (412°C/773°F) tip to STTC-538 (302°C/575°F) but that's another 50€/$ cost :mad: not on priority list for a moment. 30W it's gonna be then :)

Well, there are 2 decks waiting for some fixing and adjusting but I'm just feeling myself too lazy and keep telling to myself "next week" under the last 3 or maybe little longer... However, not so lazy to think :) and two things/questions just came up: 1. How many watts is needed for some...

1. As many professionals said many times, only right way to adjust pb level is by measuring dolby output voltage. Now, if a deck is made and adjusted correctly from the factory, so that D-level matches correct output level, it would not be wrong to adjust pb level by measuring outputs. In this...

Searching the internet I've found this: It is a part from some Onkyo deck service manual. That MTT-150 test tape is a Teac and is ANSI, which means that 245mV is correct. Since that datasheet for a CX20187 can't be found, this is the way to collect the facts. Question remains, what is the...

I have tried what you're suggesting, even before. Fortunately I have both spare wand and different kind of a tip, and problem seems to be somewhere else. Interesting thing is that, if a unit is unplugged (no matter if I unplug a cord from it or just cut a power on the extension cable switch) and...
