This is great. I'm having issues with the phono on my 2230 and considering digging into it like this as I think it might be one of those troublesome resisters you pointed out. But man do I not have the tools for it and might just wreck the whole thing.
It's an easy rebuild. You only need the parts, a soldering iron of reasonable quality, desolder wick, a spool of good solder. Plus a few hand tools such as a phillips screwdriver, etc. Once you remove and replace a couple of the components, you'll be inspired to do a full rebuild of the board. There's a lot of good soldering teaching videos on TH-cam. I recommend buying an old VCR or junk receiver for $5 or $10 at Goodwill to practice on first.
Thanks for the tips and encouragements ! Getting ready to recap my 2235 Phono board and finally play some LPs ? First disc will be in your honor.
You got this!
Hey man you are doing a fantastic job I wished I knew as much as you did just testing working on these little radios every now and then
Good work more power to you, brother.
😃
This is amazing!
