Hi, Great explanation but sadly the volume pot is playing up on mine. Gently turning left to right by small margins there’s a bit of crackling until you get both channels working and it’s quiet happy until you want to alter the volume - repeat process. From this I assume the pot is worn in certain areas. How easy is it to get a replacement and to swap out? Cheers Steve
Hi Steve May sound an obvious question, but have you tried a good squirt of contact cleaner right inside the pot? Then give the volume knob a good working back-and-forth 20 or 30 times at least. 9 out of 10 times this will fix your issue, but if it’s still doing it then yes, you may need a new pot. It’s not too difficult to change if you can solder?
Have the same Amp and one of my speaker output won't play, I hope your video help me solve the problem, and if it doesn't I thing will help many others, thanks for that step by step video love from Greece brother 👍🇬🇷
Panasonic/ technics makes durable reliable products. These products are going on 35+ years old. Thats a generation. Like you said if you can repair them and make them last longer, that would be cool. The dynamic range was excellent on technics integrated amplifiers. + low THD.
Yes so true. Also, if you can get a good deal on one of these on the secondhand market you’d be very hard pushed to find something better for the price. Certainly nothing new for the same money would outperform it in my opinion.
The simplest and cheapest company on the planet, but also the best-looking in terms of design, otherwise nothing out of the ordinary in terms of construction.
You'd be AMAZED at how many models of these late 80's to late '90's Technics I've owned. They can be found for dirt cheap at thrift shops. As far as I'm concerned they are NOT "great" or "well-built" amplifiers. Maybe good for a garage. The best way to avoid issues with these amplifiers is to not buy them to begin with.
I see your point …but if you can get one cheaply they aren’t bad I believe, compared to what else you can buy for the money. With the right speakers they can sound half decent imo.
@@SonicSalvagex Thanks for letting me express my opinion. I'm a big fan of 70's Technics receivers. I've held on to a dozen or so in my collection that I appreciate. Good luck and take care.

I had one of them back in the day it served me well for many years before switch problems, pod problems etc...I just invested in a Denon Amp...

Easy peasy when you know what you're doing!
Thanks man!!!
No problem!

It seems you have eaten something delicious before recording the video 😋😋

Thanks for commenting. I wish I had a big collection of audio gear, sadly I have to sell all the stuff I get in to pay the bills!
