Considereing the caliber of gear discussed in this forum, I'm nearly embarrassed to say. But it's an Akai AA-1010. I did the drive today and combined some errands with visiting the parts store. If I burned up $18 wirth of fuel, I wanted to make the trip worthwhile. I got 1/2 watt resistors...

And from me as well.

I am guessing that the original resistor, R18 in the diagram is 1/2 watt. The value is not printed on the diagram, just an asterisk, but I learned it is 10 ohm. If I am understanding it correctly, the note states that if a resistor's value is identified on the schematic, it is 1/4 watt. But...

I am in need of a 10 ohm resistor of at least 1/2 watt and the only 10 ohm resistors I have are 1/4 watt metal film. The nearest "local" business that might have such a thing is over an hour round trip. Like about 100km. If that doesn't pan out, can I solder two resistors in parallel then...

I ordered the ebay motor, ETA end May. The seller had 7 left and something like 88 sold so I figured get one while I coud. Feedack on over 2,000 transaction close to 100%. Landed cost will be about $40CAD. So with the belts this thing will stand me about $70. An oddball deck with a 30hz...

Thanks Nando. I did not think to search by Pioneer's part number just the Mitsubishi number. But the one you linked to is sold. Tomorrow I'm going to pull & open the existing motor, see what it looks like inside. Got nothing to loose.

I posted this on AK but thought I'd do so here as well in case Sam or another cassette deck aficionado catches it and cares to comment. Last winter, while walking my dog, I saw a Yamaha receiver, speakers and this Pioneer CT-F2121 at a curbside. When I got back home, I took the car and picked...

That direct to disc Thelma Houston album was probably a demo record in every HiFi store on the planet.

Many things recently have been making me recall tunes from days past. What's been happening to Ukraine has been bringing this one to mind. Inspired by a different war, but a war is a war. Consequences and suffering are the same regardless of when or where. The song used to give me...

I'm sure he will be happy and hope I didn't over-hype it. Did you chat pre-amps?

There is a version of the Garrard Zero 100 designated Zero 100C. C for counter. I have one but managed to f***up the counter some years ago while trying to reset it. So just a plain Zero 100 now. From Vinyl Engine: The Zero 100C has an automatic record counter built into the pickup arm...

I'd be interested in knowing that too. Particularly since I bought that exact same VN-35 stylus a year ago and paid no VAT.

Best bang for the buck I've found for a VN-35 nude eliptical. https://mrstylus.com/en/product/shure-vn-35-e-black-diamond/

When I placed the order, there were shipping options. The cheapest was $8.75 but I uncharacteristically opted for the $20 one because it included import duty. Even so, I was expecting a week or so wait.

It’s Friday. On Wednesday I placed a small order with Mouser. It arrived this morning. From Mansfield, TX to Castlegar, BC in way less than 48 hours. A 2000mi cross border trip.

I see. Thanks for the explanation!

Q409 (BD139) was bad so I replaced it and one burnt resistor. Also stuck a new BD139 at Q410 in the opposite channel. One of the outputs is not cooperating when it's screws are tightened - the DBT does not get that dim. So I have no faith in the TO3's. I am going to replace all o them -...

Yes and two of them are supposed to be 180 degrees from the corresponding two in the other channel. Seeing that some were installed one way and some the other made me wonder about orientation of the lot of them. The integrated amp's service manual, but not the receiver's, had diagrams of the...

The past few weeks I've been picking away at trouble shooting a free NAD 7225pe receiver, using the primitive means at my disposal. I have been pulling transistors to check them and suspected that two I removed were actually installed backwards. It was very time consuming (for me anyway)...

Years ago I read that the Soviet military still used tubes because they were less susceptible to EMPs from nuclear detonations.
