Hi, Are you confident enough to take it apart? If so the best is to unplug it and unscrew the metal body (few screws on the sides and maybe at the back), then check it inside what is causing the problem, sometimes it’s really needed a bit of cleaning as old grease is drying up and is making it sticky or something inside snapped/wares off. If that’s not going to help best to refer it to service place.

Ohh wow, hopefully it still works :)

Hi, Yes, you can use it manually, does not need to be automatic all the time, you just lift the tone arm and place it whenever you like.

Hi, Unfortunately you need amplifier and stuff to play it, it can not be used just with the speakers, some of the old stuff is build like combo machines with amp and radio tuner or even cassette player they just need speakers.

I think it depends of the recording level but you might be right, I have another one and I will test it to check.

Hi, What a petty as those amps are not to bad but you are right, they are not to expensive to buy and as you mentioned there are plenty to check it out.

Hi, Yes, they are really cool and if you have full set with preamp and power amp 9011 and 9021 the whole set looks magical.

Hi, To be honest I was trying to find it for myself but I think they are not making them anymore in that style, you can check it on some flea markets for some old record players as that accessorises where very popular those days and maybe you can buy some old one but with the dust collector.

Hi, You are right, I should be prepared better, on my defence is that I am only doing this out of love for vintage hifi and try to share a bit of what is still out there and obviously I should get out in my videos more info about the stuff I am presenting, thanks for your suggestion, I will try to get better ;)

Hi, Just to add that as an entry model it is no so bad, it does the job and if you do not need anything that will not cost you fortune it is ok, besides if your whole setup are entry models no need to go overboard and buy something that you are not going to hear the difference anyway , step by step and upgrade by upgrade people are getting better pieces but you must to start somewhere, sometimes with that Dual ;)

You are welcome, I try to bring some nice and forgotten little gems if I find them somewhere.

You can find it this one there.

Sometimes it need the degreasing as old grease gets hard and that prevents from moving to the position, or just something is dislocated inside, if you know a bit how to take apart and look inside, clue is probably there.

@FunwithVintageHiFi thank you for the reply. I'll get round to having a look at it soon.

That is nice set up ;)

Yes Katie is great to listen on those vintage receivers :)

Thanks for the info, that is great advice, next time I will knew that. ;)

Hope you enjoy it! It is a nice amp.

You might be right but I am a fun of the originality as I think Japanese engineers were pretty clued up what are they doing but if someone is looking for some kind of improvement that it might be there why not but as I mentioned I am not recommending changing anything ;)

Hey man you sound like you know a lot about these amps. Mine has a quiet channel. The problem can sometimes be fixed by increasing volume all the way and then reducing it. But one channel is still quieter. I assume it's either the potentiometer for volume if it has two rails, but I doubt that. Probably is the internal pre amplifier... Do you have a clue?

Also, I don't think it's the volume knob because using the balancer to increase the volume of the quiet channel to the max and waiting a bit makes it work again for some time ( switch back to normal balance after it comes "online")

Ohh wow.. collection you say, that is nice, yes this one is really nice.

Hi, I am sorry but not for sale, I am sure that you can find one for sale on the net.

Ooo, that’s a petty but look on the bright side, because of you she has enjoyed a great sound from that receiver. You can still find those on selling platforms.

221 it very nice receiver, I’m sure it sounds really good. I would love to hear it, if I come across one I will definitely check it out.👍🏻

@FunwithVintageHiFi You must add a 221 to your collection :)

Definitely 😉

Wow, that’s lucky to find one like that :)

Hi, Only I can suggest is to keep checking on ebay or market websites that someone has got one for sale with manuals and maybe to ask them to scan it for you as it will be difficult to find one online, good luck and hopefully you can fix yours soon.

Hi, To be honest I test it on the musical tapes and it they were copied properly, stereo and all so I am not so sure that it can be only for what you are saying but who knows, those tapes were still good quality, maybe not quality that you can have from two decks but still really good.

@@FunwithVintageHiFi marcopoulos is correct. These are the mono versions. They only have a 10kHz bandwidth and a very high wow and flutter figure of around 0.25% so aren't much use for anything other than cassette audiobooks.

Hi, To be honest with you I did not knew that, my bet, but thanks for acknowledging that, next time I came a cross one I will check this future on it.

Hi, Exactly, they are very good for what they are, jut normal maintenance required and they will serve you for years.

Hi, Yes, you can but they are not made for it as they are not as powerful as amps or receivers so they are made as a "support" to your hifi as a four channel amp.

Yes, they really nice machines for duplicating cassettes, I wish that I had one when everything was on the cassettes ;)

@@FunwithVintageHiFi i still try to have my music on tape :)

Me too!!!

Thanks for that! Is always nice that someone have some extra knowledge about vintage hifi.

Thanks, On the right hand side you can see knobs for the tape “Tape monitor” you just flick it to the on position and it cuts off the rest and it does play the signal from the tape.

Yes, those are really nice, we are all admired them before but the price was probably too steep for us but now you can pick up one for reasonable prices, I managed to get few of them over the years. Hopefully you can find one and get a chance to bring back great memories.

Thanks for the comment. Of course you do not going to use your precious records on it just in case but to be honest I check this one for that exact reason and I must say that I do not see any particular damage like scuffs and stuff as when is going down is "hitting" sides of the record below if so but I agree that probably using it over and over on some records might get damaged and as you mentioned it is a full contact with record below and in the queue on the top, of course there are a lot of models from different brands that do the changers especially for singles but this one I find it fascinating that Technics did this one.

@@FunwithVintageHiFi It's certainly among the better changers.

The good news is that only the raised label and raised outer rim touch when a record drops on a record changer, so there is no absolutely scuffing or scratching of the grooves containing the music. Technics record changers, such as this SL-1650, are great machines that will not in any way damage the grooves on records. But thanks for the links to the Voice of Music and identical Sherwood changers, the Sherwood being from 1971 according to the post, thus predating the first Technics changers. I'd never seen that turntable mech, and even more interesting in that Voice of Music OEM changers were typically used in rather inexpensive console systems.

Ohh if I knew that before I would check it but thanks for the tip.

Thank you

Hi, I think it was around 220-250 dollars but I might be wrong to exact price. If you have one In nice condition look after it as they are lovely machines.

@@FunwithVintageHiFi Thank you for the info!
