    Kenwood from the Good Will store

    I have a giant Kenwood reciever that I bought non-working for $5 bucks at the local Good Will store. I don't remember the model as I have had it packed away for years. It would fire up on one channel only. One of the two giant cap in the amp had blown its guts out the top of the cap body. Can these old style caps still found in good working order? I'm going to get the old turkey out, and try a recaping her. I think she is a mid to late seventies model. I wonder if this old Kenwood will have a warmer sound than my Onkyo. I am driving a pair of old Polk Monitor 10 speakers. The Onkyo is a high current amp rated at 104 watts RMS per channel but it just doesn't have that much "ass." This Kenwood it about the same size as the old Pioneer SX 1250 reciever @ 100 watts RMS per channel. Cheers!

    There is a fifth dimension, beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination. It is an area which we call the Twilight Zone.

      Sure; I have an old amp, well over 30 years, all caps in it are fine. Only thing wrong with it is that the volume knob introduces allot of crackle when it is touched...

      Also it for some odd reason did not have optical input so I've now retired it for the basement

              Hitachi V19B01922 Channel Tune problem
              by dicky96
              Hi Guys
              I have a customer who has two Hitachi TVs in his bar, one is the model in the thread title and the other is a larger screen but has the same setup menu

              He also has an LG TV, so three screens in the bar

              I installed three Satlink ST-6503 DVB-T Modulators
              This model https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32916553905.html

              These connect to three satellite receivers via HDMI cables and then connect to a 4 way RF Amp that connects to the TVs on aerial cable. There is no incoming terrestrial antenna. I set the channel ID on the modulators to...

              Marantz pm 6005 right channel not worknig
              by sima112
              Hi guys,
              I need a help with my Marantz pm6005. It started to have weaker the right channel a few months ago, than it got back to normal and now it has lost sound completely on the right channel. At the final stage it was loosing the channel for a while and than it returned. After it has disappeared completely I could forced it back by unplugging the source form CD (which I normally use) to phone and back. It would then work for a few minutes and died again. Now it is possible power up and all function works normally (apart the right channel ) on all inputs, except the phone both channel...

              Supermicro X10DAX and Quad Channel
              by Logistics
              So my dilemma is that I can't seem to get my board to run in Quad Channel. I have an X10DAX with Dual E5 2690 v3's and originally it had four 16GB sticks of Samsung ECC. Figuring I needed to have a stick for each DIMM1 slot I purchased four more identical sticks of Samsung M393A2G40DB0-CPB. So, now I have eight 16GB sticks for a total of 128GB of RAM. When I install the ram so that Each DIMM1 slots is populated the system will not post even if I clear the CMOS, remove the battery, what-have-you. But according to what I'm reading in the Manual, which is admittedly not very clear, populating each...

              Reverse engineering of 18650 4-channel tester
              by spleenharvester
              Hi friends

              I have reverse engineered this tester, schematic is attached and is complete except for capacitor values. These testers annoyingly have no model number but they are the ones you find on the first page of just about any website if you type in "18650 4-channel tester". There is also a 2-channel variant and a newer 8-channel variant. They are very cheap (about £15) and can measure voltage, current, internal resistance and capacity. They have a multicolour display for all these statistics. They also have terminal blocks so that if you want to use a breakout board...

              1973 Magnavox. One dead channel.
              by JunkForLess
              I am working on repairing a 1970s Magnavox stereo console. The Left channel works perfect, but the right channel is dead at the speaker. This happens in all modes (Tape, Phono, FM Stereo). Now, I do have audio from the right channel via the "Tape Record" output, so this confirms the problem is in the right channel AF and Output amp? I also tested the speaker itself. I attached a schematic of the Right channel: AF and Output.


              In addition to a recap, I found that R101 and R107 were both open (see arrows). I replaced R101 and R107, but they both become very hot....
