In a bit of a freak accident, I managed to break the board. Obviously, it won't power now, and I've killed it. Upset doesn't even begin to cover it.
Repaired a Panasonic RX-C45 and played a tape in it. (with the front off) The first side went well, and then I turned it over and played the other...
To quote Mr Jools Holland ... "I'm in a dancing mood..." ... too ages for two caps to arrive, but when they did, I managed to finish the board and...
For the record, here's the caps list for the equaliser on the Panasonic ... [ATTACH]
That mostly describes me very well :-) Some of these things are hang overs from my days on the road as a mobile engineer. I have thrown some of...
I saw one on fleabay for about £40 including postage, with a snapped hinge, but although I was drooling I have to curb my enthusiasm, lest the...
Just waiting for 12 more caps to arrive and then it will be mostly done. The equaliser took most of the same caps as the main board, with the...
The voltage has to be correct.... but the power supply can be, "over amped"... as long as it's not "under amped" so if you get one at 12v 5000mA...
Yeah, that sounds just about right. Not enough mA, by a long shot.
It looks like 2.5A with centre pin positive.
Check the amps it's pulling/providing? If the unit needs more amps than the generic power supply is capable of, you might have a problem there.
OK - this sounds a bit bonkers, but before I embark on this, I'm checking my cleaning materials before I potentially do something stupid. I'd...
So here's the question. Cleaning tape heads and rollers. I normally use a high percentage isoprop, but I'm reading that some people use,...
After my experience shopping for some of these caps, I do worry whether in a decade or two, it will be impossible to get some of these caps and...
Thunderbirds are go. Blue vinyl on a red deck. Cool colour combination or what :-) [ATTACH]
That stand and turntable are pretty cool, indeed. Also the "sensors" for the record size. Can't tell what they do really, as the cue and speed...
Thanks for this. I think what's confusing me even more is that the new 0.1 muf 50v cap (not pictured) is a little more than twice the size of the...
I am replacing what I think is a like for like cap... but the replacement is small enough for me to consider whether the (M) by the side of the 1...
Someone with more experience than me, will re-cap my TPR-950 for me. I was wondering where I could get some replacement belts please, as it might...
So, this is what I ended up ordering. Panasonic didn't cover all the range, so I went for Nichicon. Total cost including postage is less than £40,...
