    Speakers for Yamaha 2010 amp

    In the immortal words of the dearly departed Zilch of LHF and AK fame (may he RIP). JBL L-100's, "Fake but fun." JBL's and Yamaha are a match made in heaven. Maybe something a little newer and less fake like L-112 or the studio version 4411. Newer 4412's would be amazing with a CA-2010. Lots of...

    Nick Danger's Yamaha M80 Amplifier Repair/ Restoration

    Sorry again it took so long to get done. It's somewhat of a stress reliever for me from work (when they cooperate) and work's been just too much to get away from the last few months. Not a "complete" recap as we don't have a source for the PS filter caps, but it did get a thorough Nichicon FG...

    It was an 18pf 500VDC mica cap and I had to order replacements. :D

    What kind of solder are you using? There seemed to be an excess amount of residual flux. I also cleaned all the crevices well and cleaned the through hole in the PCB before reassembly. One of the pulled transistors also had lots of flux on two legs. I probably should have it the bus bars with...

    It's alive and well. PS voltages are good. Bias voltages are good. The only issue I cannot correct is the Class-A bias is higher on one channel than the other by about 10mV (107mV/95mV). Class A/B they are both dialed in @15.5mV. It's done except I still want to pull the faceplate and recap...

    Like I said, no worries. Installed all the new caps that came in today. Just waiting on those last two caps I missed on the first order.

    Nick Danger's Yamaha M80 Amplifier Repair/ Restoration

    Well, shit. I hate it when this happens. I put a few more parts in that I had on hand, and pulled a few more for cleanup that still looked sickly. So I discover a missing cap - one that was hiding behind a transistor I pulled and is part of the later serial number and TSB66H mods that are not...

    Nick Danger's Yamaha M80 Amplifier Repair/ Restoration

    I got ambitious over the weekend after a gruelling yet unproductive emergency work week in Dallas. Pulled the busbars and cleaned/polished the green sticky gross crap off. I betcha Mr Legendary doesn't do that. :la: Replaced a few of the missing components and got the order into Mouser for all...

    Nick Danger's Yamaha M80 Amplifier Repair/ Restoration

    In a former (Military) life, I was a microwave radio technician, hence my dangerousness with a soldering iron. However, those relay racks came from an IT client data center move out. Got em free! Would have gotten more, but their telco/wiring guys snatched most of them.

    No T-85 here. Had a line on one last year on CL, but the guy flaked out (moving sale.) Hell, I LOST one of my C-4. I think I mistakenly sold one too many. Or I loaned it out and forgot to whom. I put the M-80 on the bench today. Pulled the krusty/green bus bars and swapped out a few caps...

    My offer was not conditional upon payment. You do need to find the time to bring it to me in Parker. :-) I'd be happy to take a look gratis with the understanding that I'm going to be awful busy Q4 with work and travel and it may take me a while to finish it up. PM me on AK for my e-mail...

    Nick Danger's Yamaha M80 Amplifier Repair/ Restoration

    My schematic (schematic has typos), which I have modified to include the TSB66H mods, lists R125/R126 as 390 Ohm. This should be 330 Ohm R233 - 430 (this should be 470 Ohm) R234 - 470 TSB66H is a mod for serial numbers below "2401" There are also two different idle current settings, one for...
