If you don't do your washing in stereo do you even bang?

There are few pieces of #audio #gear I miss owning. The Technics SL-J33 is probably one of the biggest, so I decided to write about it:

@MsDropbear42 @ajsadauskas C60 and C90? The kids these days are missing out!

Nearly two decades ago now, I volunteered at a community radio station. They still had a reel-to-reel tape deck (that I never operated), MiniDisc (that I did use), and broadcast-grade loop tapes.

The loop tapes were like 8-tracks, except with one stereo track that was up to a few minutes long.

You'd pop it into the machine, hit play, and it would play, and then it would fast forward back to the start of the tape ready for next time.

They used them for station promos and some music.

The MiniDisc was a proper HiFi stereo unit.

Good times!

#Stereo #3D #Nature #Bloomscrolling #Apiaceae

Today was this month's Repair Cafe in my city. I think it also marks a full year I've been volunteering at them. I enjoy it a lot.

After last months good results - everything brought to me successfully fixed *except* one item - I got exactly the same result today. A bunch of successes, and one failure. And it's a weird and annoying coincidence - they are basically the same thing, #Sony all-in-one bookshelf #stereo systems. You know the type, they're on the order of a cubic foot and look like a small stack of stereo equipment units, but it's just a cosmetic look. Inside, the tuner, preamp, amp, CD player / changer, tape deck are all one thing. #Boombox in a suit, basically.

Both times, I figured out what was wrong - but I couldn't get to the bits I needed to actually fix them. I got stumped trying to take the front #fascia off the chassis. There's usually a few screws to take the back and/or top off, and then some #clips holding the front fascia to the (usually) one-piece sheet metal sides and bottom. Taking a #spudger to them releases all along the top and sides, but at the bottom of the fascia, it doesn't release - there's something weird about the clips I can't see, and I don't see any #screws responsible, inside or out. I don't want to force it more than I have because it will break.

Any Sony-heads out there know the secret with these things? They're from the 80s and 90s, at least the ones brought into me.

so apparently 3D-Con (??) is being held in #abq this year, so i decided to stop by.

it is being run by the National Stereoscopic Association ("the other NSA!") and is as esoteric and niche as you might expect.

really? a whole week of this?

Almost perfect match to the speakers... this system is 30W per channel, speakers are 25W. #harmonkardon #stereo

Let's see if the phono works! #stereo #repair

FM stereo! Hmm... is it pledge drive month? (I guess that is every month now, since rhe Feds want to destroy public radio...) #stereo #repair

(Holding ears, turn on power)

NO BOOM! HAHAHAHAHA. Did not blow any caps or fuses.

@ai6yr
This amp kit seems very fine, Ben. It would be a logical (maybe final) step in shrinking my stereo amp down from a kit-built tube-type Dynaco Stereo 120.
Do you have any comments on the circuitry and specs?

Next:fixing the tape player. First issue: the old belts have degraded into a thick black goo. Yuck. #repair #stereo

Disk 3!

CD changer is working, albeit... very slow. The CD player works, but it is very sensitive to movement or vibration. But, that might just be all CD players.

Had to clean everything twice, and also lubricated spinning things with some teflon lubricant.

(this one, public domain, thanks to the Library of Congress).

Well, $$ expensive full kit for belts. Wonder if there is another source for this. Since the last time I played a tape was a couple of decades ago, lol. May try a cheap generic belt kit first (though one of those is apparently longer than generics... 210mm?), before shelling out $55 (also have to pay shipping). Also will get the CD working FIRST.

#aiwa #repair #stereo

Anyway, the guy I bought it from pleaded with me not to throw it in the trash, asked me that if I didn't fix it to try to give it away on Craiglist etc. 🤷

I reassured him that all I do with my spare time is try to fix things, lol. (Pretty sure I will have this running soon). Tape player turns on, but the capstans aren't turning. Sounds like broken belts, which I assume can still be purchased....

Two screws gets you into the top. #repair #stereo

CD does not run. First thing to do, likely the only issue, is to clean the lens. #repair #stereo

Unplugged headset. One cassette was running. Waited for awhile... and now it has sound from the radio! Will have to look at that more tomorrow. Not sure if it was the tape player running, or it might be it took awhile for (old, probably) capacitors to charge properly. I would not be surprised if this needs a recap too. #stereo #repair

Grabbed a headset to see if any audio. Nothing on radio, CD, etc. Hmmm... #repair #stereo

Powers up. Oops, speakers upside down. NO SOUND. 🤔#repair #stereo

This thing is enormous! #repair #stereo #Aiwa
