Realistic STA-47 Stereo Receiver -- Part2
มุมมอง 5552 ปีที่แล้ว
In part 2, I continue my mindless rambling, but I do manage to set the idle current. Afterwards I did quickly hook up the distortion meter, to see if my "guessed" idle (bias voltage) setting was correct. The setting was in the correct zone. I am not sure if I mentioned it, but I also had the base and treble controls in a neutral position, and the loudness control was in the "off" position.
Realistic STA Stereo Receiver -- Part 1
มุมมอง 2.2K2 ปีที่แล้ว
Back by unpopular request. This video is specifically made for owners of the Realistic STA-47 stereo receiver. Part 1 of 2. Model was made from 1975-1976 and cost $199.95. The amp section is direct coupled with a differential input circuit, a predriver circuit, a driver circuit, and a power output circuit for each channel. The output transistors are all NPN types, meaning that this is a quasi-c...
Marantz Square Wave Problem.

Video discovered on my hard drive. The problem was that the square wave coming into the tone board was not square. The loudness switch seemed to be the problem. Cleaner spray solved the problem.

There was no bias current adjustment since it was fixed, that is, there are no variable resistors to adjust. I did end up checking the bias current; it seemed to be ok (I don't recall the exact value). Also, a few video sequences seem to be missing. Two different frequency square waves were injected into the AUX input.
The Oscilloscope Beam Finder Switch (beginner's video)

Beginner's video. For people that have an old analog scope and know a little about how to use it, but not much. Note: Not all analog scopes had beam finders. Also, each scope is not the same, of course.
Marantz 2215B Stereo Receiver Input Sensitivity Test
มุมมอง 3033 ปีที่แล้ว
Basically the input sensitivity test shows the minimum amount of signal needed to obtain the the rated power output (15 watts per channel continuous into 8 ohms). The signal was fed into the aux input. A 1,000 Hz sine wave signal was fed to both channels, although only one channel was measured at a time. In the video only one channel is shown. Since the service manual showed no specified freque...

Marantz 2215B Stereo Receiver Lights -- PART 2

Part 2 of the Marantz 2215B LED conversion. I didn't have time to cover everything, for example, dropping resistors for LEDs, but there are plenty of videos on TH-cam and if you attempt a job of this nature you should at least have some electronics knowledge, or begin reading and experimenting with basic circuits.

The Volume Control
มุมมอง 3014 ปีที่แล้ว
Not a beginner's electronics video, but maybe a beginner's electronic tech video. A short and basic video. I am not aware if there are more in-depth videos on this subject out there, since I don't bother to look. In order to get a full output reading, I turned the volume control all the way up, and then slowly increased the signal into the aux input. The load was 8 ohms, and the input signal wa...
Front Panel Marantz 2215B (threaded insert removal)

Short video showing how to remove the front panel (plate) with an emphasis on removing the threaded insert. The video is actually about removing the insert, but if I would have only filmed that, the video would only be 2 minutes long. There was a little "earthquake" when my arm hit the camera, but that was because the camera was in front of my arms/hands, and my chest.

    I think the edit button pauses tape2 for you to sort the tape1 for next playback. Mine was my late grandfathers unit and I was never allowed to touch it.way back on the late 70s and I remember it like it was yesterday. I kept mine for sentiment as the tapes just chew up tapes now

    hi there, the "light" button turns on the backlight behind the led-display - but its an oldfashioned fuse-like mini lightbulb with a rubber sheet over it - they re very often burned out (after 40+ years) :) PS : the display sometimes messes up...but most often a "reset" fixes the problem - by taking out , leaving out for a few minutes and putting back the 3 AA batteries in the tube behind the D-cells :) that resets the whole thing. In my experience it solves the lcd-display issue in about 1 out of 3 times. A greaaaaat device !

    • @OldSchoolElectronics
      @OldSchoolElectronics ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks. Really not too much you can do. It's probably got one of those old mechanical type governors it it doesn't have a hole or some kind of potentiometer set-up on a board. Make sure the capstan/flywheel isn't binding, make sure the pinch roller isn't binding, and your belts aren't worn, especially it they have been in there for decades. Not sure if this applies you, but If the belts have been in there for so long, why are they still in there? And also make sure to try different cassettes.

    Great restoration and what a patience, surely needed. About carbon track cleaning: alcohol or contact cleaner wouldn’t soften the carbon film, making it easier to be scratched off by the normal operation of the sliding/rotating contacts? Thanks for sharing! P.S.: I can’t imagine why someone would glue all potentiometers - this is crazy.

    • @OldSchoolElectronics
      @OldSchoolElectronics ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for commenting, sir. I didn't have problems cleaning this because I worked gently. You could remove the carbon if you rubbed too hard. What has your experience been? The spray seems to have no adverse effects. That was a bizarre case of glue in the sliders. Although it was a few years ago, that boombox seemed quite worn out. Sorry that I didn't write so quick, but I am not on TH-cam very much at the moment

    • @OldSchoolElectronics

      You should clean the volume control for starters. Spray it while the power is off, off course. Sorry, takes me a while to respond, since I am barely on TH-cam nowadays.

    • @OldSchoolElectronics
      @OldSchoolElectronics ปีที่แล้ว

      As the name "audio generator" implies, it puts out audible frequencies, that is, what the human ear can hear. A signal generator can go much higher in frequency. Not needed for your purpose. I would try to get a used solid-state audio generator, maybe from ebay. One of the major manufacturers such as Heathkit, Leader, HP, etc. Seems like you are just looking for something real basic.

    I have the same amp and I need a solution to replace of the 5+1=6 dial bulbs. I think the voltage for the lighting circuit is 6.3 volts for my 110 volt Marantz 2215B amplifier. The old bulbs were 8 volt 200mA. I live in europe so the voltage here is 220 volt. And the cycle is not 60hz, it is 50hz. So should I go for LEDs that are in the video or SMD type leds? Should I wire 3 Leds on a board and use a resistor? Please help sir. Kind regards

    I’ve finished repairing a Marantz PM00AV and both modules were blown. I replaced them from a Chinese supplier and it’s been on the bench for a few weeks run up daily with no issues. The gout who sold me the amp was probably aware that he had dropped it. The amp fell on the volume pot, smashing it off its daughter board and breaking the board itself. My feeling is it put full power into both inputs and that’s what blew it. The chips themselves have the circuit for dc sending and dropping a relay, so each models has a speaker protection circuit as it’s a Dolby surround amp. Anyway, I remade the fibreglass board and bridge the tracks where broken and repaired the pot- which is 50k 4 gang with motor- so rare as rocking-horse.

And overall a classier and better unit. This is just my personal opinion; no doubt there are some people that probably think otherwise.
