    Item arrived damaged in Denmark

    Don't forget the plug is wired incorrectly as well. It could never have worked wired as it is.

    Item arrived damaged in Denmark

    There's a few odd things about the smashed plug photo. The flex grip is still intact. How did the cable get free? That type of fibre flex grip has a flat surface and yet the cable has rib pressure marks caused by a different type of plastic grip. Both the brown and blue wires are attached to...

    Never buying from ebay again

    As a long time ebay seller myself I would have apologised and offered the £50 but would NOT have asked for no negative feedback. Can I ask you OP - what would you have thought and/or done then? If a seller has lots of positive feedback I don't believe one negative does much harm. A seller can...

    So... my amplifier just exploded!

    The output transistors are bolted to those heatsinks. You can see the mounting bolts along the bottom edge in the photos.

    So... my amplifier just exploded!

    Although the main caps (purple) on these amps can blow very spectacularly, they also go dead short with no other signs of failure. Check Q703 and Q702 which are thyristors that are mounted to the heatsinks at the bottom left of your second picture. If a cap is short then one of them is likely...

    Old Amp Resurrection

    Could it be simply the links missing from the Ext in and out sockets at the rear?

    Must watch video for many people.

    Is this one of the most important photography videos on YouTube? With all the misleading advertising of lenses for crop cameras I think it is. Note regarding the part about ISO noise: He is assuming a similar sensor technology level across the different cameras. Also, he is talking about...

    Can anyone ID this turntable dust cover?

    Thank you for your input. I'll have a think about what stack systems have been in my possession (not many). I think it's more likely to be off a stand-alone hi-fi deck. It seems a bit big for a stack system. I've been looking again and have found the Ariston Q Deck which seems to have a...

    Can anyone ID this turntable dust cover?

    I found this dust cover yesterday but I have know idea which turntable is was for. I've spent quite some time doing a Google image search but can't find anything like it. Anyone got any idea? Thanks.

    Amp channels kick in at slightly different times

    I would not worry about it too much. I very much doubt it will develop into anything more serious. I'll have a look at the circuit in my service manual and see if anything come to mind. One small correction: a dried out capacitor won't take longer to charge. Its capacitance would have reduced...

    Repair or new amp time :(

    The fault is very likely to be failure of C4 which is a 22nF 630V capacitor. In the picture posted above I think you can just about see it. See the circuit board the arrow is pointing to, the one with the mains input socket? The black rectangular thing is the standby relay. Under that can you...
