I found that if you put a small drop of liquid flux on the solder wick, it will help to get the solder to melt and flow into the braid more easily. Great job!
Yes, I learned that too. I also learned that some types of solder wick come with some flux in it from factory, some don't. I usually apply flux like 'Kester 186 Liquid Soldering Flux, RMA Rosin' from Amazon to desolder (or solder) components, it usually makes the job easier.
I have a 1060 and love it. Had it rebuilt - complete capacitor replaced - along with a few upgrades.. banana jacket for speaker outputs. thanks for your video
Six years in the Navy as an electronic tech and 40 years fixing copiers. I did a lot of soldering and de soldering. It can be very frustrating. I would like to know if that is an antique radio in your opening segment. I have a small collection of antique radios. Loving this series.
That's a good video and a good job. You did a thorough analysis between what was installed in the factory and what the Service Manual states, I found similar discrepancies when restoring some JVC vintage audio equipment also. I guess there might have been updates in the Service Manual while the equipment was still in production.
Yes, changes are often made during production runs, but the service manuals rarely get updated to reflect. Sometimes a service bulletin will come out for a major change or upgrade. Thanks!
Still have mine. A few years ago I replaced a few caps, this has me thinking maybe I should dig back in there... Suggestion - a list of parts removed, and a list of replacements for each video? Thxs.
If you go to Audiokarma you'll find many build threads with folks sharing parts lists on the Marantz 1060. I'm not listing parts on this rebuild series as I'm modifying/experimenting with of many parts. I'd hate to see you end up with a lot of problems to sort out. The folks on Audiokarma are great and can get you started. Thanks!
I also have a 1060 and a 112 receiver that I bought new in 1976, still work, but getting the urge to have them tuned up. Is that an "ultra lite" propeller in the back ground ? I built the "B1-RD" in the mid 80's.
@@PossibleAudio Thank you very much....I work with tubes since almost 7 decades but transistors are a different technology , I have a vintage collection tubes and transistors , The 1060 was my first transistor amplifier in 1975 , I still cherish it ...
No. I use solder wick. Not sure if a good Hakko FR301-03 would be ergonomic because of my disability. I'd like to try one from a local tech and see if it would work for me. Wick isn't that bad. Once I figured out to use flux and pull it from the spool which allows it to dispense as its in use is great. I think technique has a lot to do with desoldering wick. Also it's lightweight and can get into tight areas. Doesn't take up my very limited workbench space. I do have a YIHUA 929D-V that a friend gave me, but I couldn't get it to perform correctly. Decided to try it again later. I think if my memory allows... it wouldn't get hot enough, but may have got damaged in shipping as it has a slight bend.

I have some and its been sitting as bench decor. I'll use it on the next video. All the best!
@PossibleAudio don't forget to clean up the flux at the bottom of the pcb my friend...how could you leave it like that..!?
Great job buddy. I admire your dedication and persistence.
I appreciate that!

It's a Travel-Aire 431 from around 1935. It's all original and complete. The wood case is beautiful and a 9/10. I may rebuild it next.

Thanks for another vid that looks like a lot of fun. I might have to get into fixing some vintage audio.
You should!
you can also cut the braid so the heat isn't being wicked up to the roll. The smaller pieces heat up much faster and soak super easy.
Thanks for the info!

@@PossibleAudio Ok, makes sense.

Just cheap home decor. Not functional.
The glue is easy removed with some freezespray
Thank you for sharing ......just left me with a question what type of transistor to replace the original one on the ower board ?

Have you used soldering gun with build in vacum sucker its very easy to suck solder inside

I think working with solder wick won't be effective, just use solder suck pump instead.
@@leonidbreshnew401 Thanks for the advice!
