Fixing Old Hi-Fi Amplifier With A Soldering Iron
Ғылым және технология
There's nothing like fixing your own products. It used to be that way, and it was quite normal. Nowadays, it's hard to believe that we have to fight against big corporations to be able to do this same kind of thing.

Yep, the good old days indeed.
Thanks Paul. Great to see you doing what I do. Pull stuff apart with the aim to fix it. Not just to save a bit of money but for the enjoyment of bug fixing and the thrill of the hunt.😊
Nice work Paul - I enjoyed walking through your diagnosis process with you. Thanks for sharing. If the problem happen to re-present itself for you later, then for what it's worth my bets were on a faulty electro cap in the low voltage power supply regulation feeding the analog section
Amen to Louis Rossman, I couldn't agree with him more. I do remember my father unscrewing the back of our old black and white tv, seeing what I now know as a schematic diagram. I had to go to the corner store and buy a valve transistor!

got the version without hdmi, no disturbing noise yet. strange enough it is getting warmer here where i live!
Awesome video. :) Suggestion : install some speakers behind You, then our brain will really enjoy the sound, another suggestion : infected mushroom : spitfire. Enjoy it loud :)
great video. thank you for taking the time!
Good work! A usual source of problems also are the electrolytic capacitors.
Paul....sorry to bug you, but can you please share where you got the recliner from at the end of the video, the one i'm using is all flogged out. Make and Model please......looks super comfy!
removing the noise, did the digital come back?
Lead free solder strikes again.
Nice one! From the looks of it, you have a more modern version of the same amp I have (last Sony device I ever bought due to their business practices, but that's another story...). Center channel on mine goes dead after some time, think it's probably a bad solder joint that causes trouble as it warms up in operation. I need to find some time to try to fix that, and as you said, being able to is what it's all about!
A bit of knowledge can get you into trouble sometimes, especially for the inexperienced. Some high voltages in old equipment, especially TV's !
Great video Paul. I'm in the same boat with an old akai sampler.

Speaking of old Akai samplers, I noticed in the credits of Flight of the Navigator, it mentions an Akai 5900 sampler, but I'm assuming someone misread that and should have been Akai S900 sampler. Here's the shot: pasteboard.co/jbDbJtxOdNLq.png And here's the sampler: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akai_S900

Nice job.
What I heard coming out of the speakers at the end still sounded like noise to me! But then again, you "kids" don't know and appreciate good quality music!!!!!!! 😊😁😂🤣
