Yamaha KX-580SE

[speakerman1]

This deck wasn't sold in the US. So I either get a converter or find a transformer that is compatible. It has some neat stuff for a 2 head deck.

Crack open one of them other Yammies you have and measure the xformer outputs, maybe you'll find a match. Yeah that's the ticket trash that KX-2000 you have.

You silly goose there is no such thing as a KX-2000. There is a K-2000 that I want; but financing the wifes trip sort of put a stop on a few things. I have a K-650 here for parts. So I have to look at the schematics for it. I know the voltage on 2 legs. 7.5v and 12v. Then there is another leg that goes to the lighting.

I didn't know what the model was, I just knew you were talking about a Yamaha 2000 something. Yes it would be sacrilegious to tear parts off of a Yamaha K-2000.

Thats a good looking yammy Larry. Playtrim adjustment; is that like an azimuth adj?

 

[speakerman1]

I would have to go back and look. It has an Auto azimuth adjustment. The play trim is something different.

Ok, my Onky TA2600 has the autobias with adjustment knob like yours, is very cool n works nice. Good luck with it....

Larry, when you get the secondary voltages let me know, I have a lot of audio transformers out of tape decks and CDP's. Even some Yamaha.

 

[speakerman1]

There is like 4 legs. 12V , 7.5v and they ones that go to the lamps. Haven't looked hard for that voltage.

Thanks
Larry

Ok, gpot one that has ; BLUE-BLUE -7Volts, YELLOW-YELLOW-12VOLTS, Then a center tapped 32. Close enough?

 

[speakerman1]

LOL your asking me to think right now. LOL I don't know how close is close enough. LOL The SE manual is online free. I haven't copied it yet.

Post a link and I'll peruse it.

 

[speakerman1]

HiFi Engine I think is where it is. I'll get it tomorrow. Everything should be there in 2 days for you. Take your time I have a lot to do. Plus I want to dig into the Norman Labs.

[laatsch55]

I take my time, as it's very hard to save.

 

[speakerman1]

Here is the link. I have to print them out today. Will look at the K-650 I have to see if it will work also.

Thanks bud

I wouldn't tear anything apart unless its junk. I found that one in the first three i tried and i have many more to check. I would say I have one.

 

[speakerman1]

LOL It is setting under my bench in pieces. Did you find the lighting voltage. I also received my converter today. Haven't tried it though. Working on other things.

Larry

 

[speakerman1]

Well I have it hooked up on the tubes. The converter works great; but I would still like to mod it to a US version. I have to say I am impressed with it only being a 2 head. I would almost put it against my Nak.
