    REC-O-Kut T12 switch and Resistor problem

    You would be surprised how many vintage turntable repair shops that I contacted that had no clue. When I have it apart for cleaning I'll replace it. Thanks for the helpful advice.

    REC-O-Kut T12 switch and Resistor problem

    I found out it is a Bumblebee capacitor used to take the arc out of the switch when turned on. It is not needed and you can still find them used. Mine is a 400 volt, .054 micro ferret. Thanks for your interest!

    REC-O-Kut T12 switch and Resistor problem

    I have a very old REC-O-KUT T12 turntable with an AC motor. The resistor on the slide switch is bad and the turntable will not turn off. My question is would it be best to replace the resistor or install a potentiometer. I would have a finer adjustment with the potentiometer, but I would like to...

    Denon and no sound to speakers

    I have just been given a Denon AVR-1708 A/V receiver without the remote. I am behind the times, and I like the stereo stuff out of the sixties and seventies, and the new stuff is great but more complicated. The AVR- plays great on FM and AM and sounds great but when I use a DVD and TV, I get a...

    Sansui FM inoperable

    Yes, if it were a unit not in such good shape I would work on it myself but the unit is perfect other than the FM. Thank You!!

    Sansui FM inoperable

    There is not a problem with the signal. All my receivers get a good signal. I just bought this receiver today and the FM does not work. I opened the unit and cleaned everything that needed cleaned. The signal meter works on AM and I receive AM but FM is dead.

    Sansui FM inoperable

    Yes, I have a collection of equipment and they all get FM. I have an indoor aerial which works with the other equipment but not with the Sansui.

    Sansui FM inoperable

    I have a beautiful Sansui receiver model 800 and everything works fine but I have no FM. Even with an FM antenna I get no reception at all. Checked all fuses and sprayed controls with Dtoxit5. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.

    lost speaker volume

    I have a very nice Pioneer SX 636 receiver with one major problem. Everything works fine except the right speaker has no sound when playing the turntable. I tried it on a second turntable and it still has the same problem. The AM and FM plays on it fine. My question is what may be the cause and...

    Akai 208D-SS static

    I just purchased a beautiful Akai 208D-SS Quad reel to reel along with a Pioneer QX-9900 Quad receiver. When first turned on they play beautiful but after a few minutes I get static through one speaker and lose almost all volume and the #2 VU meter gets erratic. I cleaned both with DeoxIT D5 and...
