Blows away my Pioneer CT - A9 from the late 80's which was top of the line then
I had an A-9 for a short while and really liked it, BUT it's only because my first 80s stereo was an ultra cheap Fisher Studio Standard (very similar design vibe) and there was a bit of nostalgia that colored my experience.
My Sony PS X800 functions perfectly, except when it’s returning to the off position the tone arm stops about 3/4 of the way and stops. Any ideas? Thank you -George 1:41
Electronic gremlins abound in these types of tables. I'm guessing that the table can't 'sense' where the tonearm is during return. You'll need a service manual and oscilloscope to adjust it (if it can be adjusted). Lots of ICs in these that could go bad.
Saying you dont know much about the series leaves us to believe... the same.
Thanks for watching!
The dbx circuit could be the source of the bad reviews...
I couldn't find many specifics...I just wrapped up a service and review on a GX 646 as well. This deck's little brother (or sister) :)
Biggest thing I want to know: Pioneer 707, or Akai 77 -which to buy??
Depends on what's important to you. The 707 is great, but the output adjustments are on the back if you need to adjust L/R...the Akai is nice in other ways but isn't as reliable. The Akai currently fits my setup (aesthetically) a bit beter.
YAAAAAY! CANT HARDLY WAIT FOR THE GX 77 video!
I hope to record something on it soon. Many items in the queue...
Do you have a GX 77 to review??
I do...it's my primary 'listener' BUT I swap it out with a Pioneer RT 707. I have space limitations in my rack. My recording deck is in a different room and is a Sony TC 755.
How about a review on the KX-444
That's one that I have not come across. I've worked on a few SX 440s and 770s, but it was before I was doing gear reviews. The SX 770 is GREAT receiver and I have no doubt that the 440/444 is just as good. I'll keep an eye out for one :)
I think that turntable was made by BSR. They were good turntables - especially yours with what looks like a magnetic cartridge. My BSR turntable worked like yours. That disc stabilizer needs to be towards the center in order to shut off after the record is complete or the stack of records are all played.
Thanks for the info! I've noticed BSR turntables in most consoles I've come across (re-badged or not).
Completely new to this. Was wondering how to reach those speed dial pots to clean them, think i got it with this video. Thanks Edit: Figured it out had to pop the switch off to take the board out 🤣
Glad the video helped :)
Good day. I have enjoyed your videos on utube I’m trying to educate myself on 1970s audio. I feel I found a sx-950 that I would like to buy. It is first going into a audio shop for a check up. Does this have the black transistors and should I ask for them to be replaced. Is there anything else that I need to be aware of. Thanks for all the info you have shared Herb Fuerst Sent from my iPhone
These are riddled with transistors that should be replaced. I just released a new series on a SX 950 where I did a recap and replaced those transistors.
@@millervintagehifi3034 what should I expect to pay for this service. Is this something that you would be willing to do? The price I was quoted to buy the receiver was 600 ish. So I would be more than willing to update any problems areas. Should I pass on this one? Thanks again Herb Fuerst
Got one on the Pioneer employee purchase program and still have it. The Pioneer advertising called this "The Year of Fluroscan".
That's pretty cool!
I'm hesitant about recapping mine that works but I will be replacing the old transistors to KSC-1815
Good luck. I still haven't come back to this one. Hope I get to it sometime this winter to complete the recap. It started popping a bit so I'm going go ahead and do all boards.
@@millervintagehifi3034 i got it partially done. if my cap tester is working somewhat correct it has a lot of caps reading very high on the preamp board and head amp board... Is yours popping when changing input ?? As i do know they will make some thump when switching inputs
Nice job!
Thanks for watching!
There's a built-in overhand gage built into the top plate of that turntable as I recall.
Dang autocorrect, meant overhang
You are correct 😀
Is there a way to modify it so the fm dial will always stay on?
I’m sure there is, but I’m not aware of how to modify the 5000x to do it.
I just purchased one for a good price at a local sale, cosmetically mint, but it has some issues. No sound output. The tuner I got with it works perfectly. I'm hoping it sounds as good a my Luxman L80v that just quit on me.
Hopefully it’s something easy like missing jumpers 😀
@@millervintagehifi3034 There's jumpers on the back. Original. Checked all three fuses, good. Tried just the amp section, still nothing. No lights on the front but when I use the switched outlet on the back to power the tuner, it works. There's a local shop that works on these old amps. I'll just take it in. He's reasonable.
I have an 1120 powering a set of JBL L150's and was thinking about stepping up to an 1150 as those speakers are awesome but power hungry. Thoughts?
I don’t see a reason not to 😀
Plugged mine in and, nothing. No noise, no movement, nothing. Any ideas?
Unfortunately there are any number of things that could be the issue.
I had the same issue with a PL-A45. Kept rubbing and running a tat to fast or slow on 33 and 45rpm. Only after adjusting the spindels height, bent the 'fork' wider, bending the whole lever arm down or up, and a correct factory belt (with correct width!); finally solved these issues!
It’s a bummer that there is no factory speed adjustment in these…most have speed issues because of the lack of properly sized belts.
Hi, what is the name of the phone app you used to test the speed? Thx!
It’s called RPM
I have this model in storage, its working but its a beast!
Yeah, they’re abnormally large.
I this week found an purchased my favorite of all receivers (after trying to buy one for more than 19 years). It's a great feeling indeed Anyways that STR-6060F is build outstanding indeed. Everything shielded etc.
I’m still using the 6060F as the receiver in my living room. It has replaced a McIntosh 1900 :)
Great receiver. Thx for uploading this repair series
Thanks for watching! I’ll get around to a recap on this once it starts to get flaky…but given it’s a Sony that may never happen :)
Thx for uploading. Good review!
LOTS more in the queue including some Sony and McIntosh gear reviews.
I bought one of these 6 months ago near mint for $200, and I watched with baited breath for when you'd finally explain what that extra FM setting is for! Oh well, whatever it does makes FM radio sound a thousand times better, (though I think my local station has 'HD Radio' technology that sounds amazing.) It has so much depth and warmth, I can easily hear lots of background percussions, and elements I'd never noticed before in 50 year old songs. I really love mine, it's all practical with no digital home theater complications, back to basics. And I swapped the bulbs for LED's for that gorgeous amber glow. Great video!
Thanks for watching! The bad thing about these is that there is no owners manual to explain exactly what that does. I'm sure it has something to do with FM sensitivity/noise, but to be honest it's just a guess.
how i can used to amplifier w/ground
I’m not sure I understand the question.
Watching your video on the 737 I have a 838 was wondering other than the Watts per channel how much of a difference is this between the two .
The 737 is kind of it's own creature. The 838 and 939 are similar, the 535 and 636 are also similar. The 737 shares some commonalities with both series (535/636 and 838/939). So it kind of depends on what 'difference' you are looking for. I'm not sure I know enough about the specifics of each model to really be able to answer.
Excellent video. My 6300 just started doing this very thing. Hadn’t used it in some time.The solenoid is working fine, just needs some cleaning. Going to replace the belts too. These are such excellent decks.
Hope it helps and good luck with the repair!
Hello, I have one of these and love it but recently acquired anti-skating problem impossible to adjust, any chance to fix this?
Depends on the issue. Too many variables to know. Your best bet is to open a thread on vinylengine.
i have 1150d ,sound amazing ,pushing jbl l112 very well sometimes i am using 1150d like preamp for marantz 240 power amp
Very nice!
Your Simm's Fishing hat is blocking the view 🙂 Thanks for the repair, was helpful!
Haha, it’s my big head, not the hat :)
I have this player though it's been in storage for aeons. I've just moved and thought I'd see if I can get it working but I cannot get the turntable off that spindle. I've tried giving it a couple of taps as you did but it's still not budging. I can see the belt is pretty toasted but if I can't get the turntable off I'll never be able to replace it, and just where would one find the belt you need for this model or is that a universal thing. As you can see I don't know poo about this but I'd love to get it working. Cheers.
Bahaha! Walked back to it to give it another yonk and the 'table popped right off this time.
Gotta love it when that happens
what was the part number for the bridge rectifier?
Mouser part # 625-GBPC1210-E4. At least I think that's it...it's the only rectifier bridge I have ordered.
Just finished a restore on a KLH 27. Needed caps badly on preamp ,control board and power amp. They fiexed it. Had a broken 67 khz fm coil on mpx. The cap values are what they made in the old days. 47 is what was 50, 22 is what was 25 and so on. So choice řo be made is to go up or down whatever. Power supply caps were fine. Only reason I fixed it was for me not for a customer. Too much work or labor I think for a customer to bother fixing. $$$$ For what it is overall b
These are nice sounding receivers and I agree on repairs exceeding the value. I personally really like them.
You have 70s JBL speakers get the 5000a , for the klipsch get the 5000x for best warmth’s and low bass
I don’t know that I’ve come across a bad receiver/speaker pairing for any of the #000 series.
These were 1978/1980 iirc Sa-725 30w x 2@4 ohms Sa-735 45w x 2@4 ohms Sa-750 60w x 2@4 ohms Sa-775 85w x 2@4 ohms Sa7100 110w x 2@4 ohms If you wanna know the 8ohm spec just subtract 5, ya dingus! For your health!
Okie dokie
Beautiful Receiver ❤
My favorite Sansui.
Cool. You are actually doing the hobby that I plan to do one day once the kids have grown up. But for now they are my main hobby 😂. Love your videos!
Thanks for watching!
I have this amp, it has a left channel issue. I have been thinking about rebuilding it, although I have never done it before, I have worked on some pinball boards. This was a great beginning video. I have to look at the schematic and figure out where to begin. Thanks.
These are definitely on the more difficult side of the spectrum to work on.
A lot more involved than a pinball board.
Hi! I have the same turntable, but I'm having issues with the automatic return. Could you help me figure out what might be wrong or how to fix it? I'd really appreciate any advice. Thanks!
Your best bet is to start a thread on vinylengine or audiokarma…lots of things could cause your issue. Far too many to try and diagnose via comments.
Great how to video. Thanks very much 👍🏼
Thanks for watching!
With your help i was able to get my 707 back in order! I cleaned the 2 speed pots and worked them back and forth about 50 times each and a new belt for the arm return. Set the speed and success! So thanks. Before I started my arm was returning about an inch before the rest. and the quartz lock was going off and speed wavering. My $20 garage find from 12 years ago loves on
Good to hear that the video helped you out!
Got a QX-747 that I have sent away to change caps and transistors.
Had one of those for a spell…just as cool and great sounding as the 949.
So not sure how the belt affects speed other than slippage. Also that's a standard headshell so I'd just pick up one of those and then you're have the finger lift issue taken care of. Did you lube the center bearing? Also looks like the anti skate might be missing a string? Sorry for peppering you with questions but interesting vid
Belt length, diameter & width can all impact the speed. I have several old Pioneer headshells...on a low end table like this I wouldn't bother replacing it since the elevator is working. In part 2 I cover lubing the spindle (I'm pretty sure). Anti-skate on this turntable is magnetic (no string/weight). Thanks for watching!
Hi I am working on a Dual 1019. Where are the adjustments for adjusting the tone arm so it lands on the record correctly.
I don't recall on this one. I think I adjust it in another one of my videos. I've sworn off working on Dual turntables (I won't service them).
I own the SX 1010 with a SX 850 as a back up
Nice! I would love to find an affordable 1010 to work on.
There is no Stereo becon, what you were referring to is known as the Stereo Indicator! When you are tune into a strong FM Stereo station the Indicator will light Indicating the receiver is tuned to a FM Stereo station.
Yup
@@millervintagehifi3034 typical dumb ass response from the younger generation.
Nice Harmon Kardon 330C in which it only had a burnt out fuse & it had dirty controls & switches!
Lucky on this one.
Excellent video!
