H/K were known as Wide Band receivers. Overpriced for comparative output but some folk swore they sounded better than the Pioneer, Kenwood, Sansui, Sony, Technics, Marantz of that period. Not a lotta bells-n-whistles on the H/K receivers but they were popular. Gotta love the soothing green back-lit dial scale. It oozes mid 1970's nostalgia and quality.

Please try this AR9 tip from an owner of a original set from new. Score a separate bass controller like a NHT unit and bi amp the AR9's run your highest wattage amp the the four bass drivers then run your sweetest and most extended amp to the low, mids and tweeters. Then when you are listening to them pull them free from the walls both rear and side to marks on the floor and get them out from where they can rest when just providing killer background music. These speakers can image just not when tucked into corners.

Hearing this song brought back so many good memories

Великолепно! Спасибо за внутренности проигрывателя!

Hello. Thanks for posting this video. I remember as a kid when Technics were great. What's do you consider a good price for one these at the thrift store fi it's in working order or not working?

Man you are like me! I have all the HK Citations combo's ever made and you and I both need an intervention!!

Magneto?

i bought Phase Linear turntable with linear tracking arm i inquired about the Rabco and dealer said he was sorry he sold them.. kept breaking down did you have trouble setting up or using this arm ?

Got a 2040 magi two months ago for 15 dollars all banged up and figured I’ll never get another chance to experience one of these if I don’t get it. It wouldn’t read anything upon tampering with it and testing the capacitors value it needed a recap in the swing arm and laser board and got it fixed to where it won’t skip any more. How ever I am thinking about replacing the caps on the power supply because sometimes depending on the cd I use, it struggles at the last 3 tracks if I use cds with 19 plus tracks the end . It’s crazy how it reads through some of my bad damaged cds and some of the good taken care of ones struggles maybe they are defective copies. I just got into the hobby and doing my own repairs still need the proper equipment to dial in the laser I haven’t touched that yet .

What other receivers would you recommend? Thank you

How did you fix the draw, i just saw one in a thrift store, tray does not open the tray, but display comes on OK. Buttons seem to work. Does it have a belt?

I have the sl pg 420 and its NEVER missed a beat / skipped in around 40 years.. Proper quality.

I finally found the tray wheel for my fd 2040 to work the laser was still good on mine and the sound is great.

Hey nice video. I just got my hands on a fd 2040 I’m looking for the tray wheel gear that attaches to the motor with a belt but I’m not so good at finding the part name I ordered a cdm4 wheel with belt from Amazon hopefully it will fit ✌️

yes yes yes

Hello, I collect cassette decks. Will you service my RS-M85? Is there a way I can get in touch with you? Thanks.

Classy, lovely looking machine, better lookin' that the TC-645, which I have. The TC-645 has F&F heads - no wear as I can see. I had to do a heck of work on it, and have recalibrated '0' VU for tapes that can take the flux densities.

I bought mine for 800 sek, sweden.. it's like 80 dollars.. sounds perfect

I started out with a Thorens TD125B and an SME3009, changed to the Rabco SL-8e, but the Thorens was a poor fit so I sold it and the SME and bought a Technics SL-110. Flipped the arm board over and mounted the SL-8e, which unlike the Thorens, was able to allow the dust cover to fit over the SL-8e structure. Then I brought out the cue wires to a separate switch on the mounting board so I didn't have to reach over to the arm's lift lever. Still works fine today, from 1974. The deck of the SL-110 looks bigger than your Sl-120.

Awesome, and LOVE your choice of album.

"if its too loud, your too old!!" Love that quote. Gonna be my next tattoo hahah. Take it easy bro!

Mad looking tonearm!! You install this yourself yeh?? Gusesing it moves along that rail? crazy.. All da benefits of a straight tonarm with the wear of an S one! Nd tbh im just happy to have a pair of 1210s and a vintage vestax pre by aged 20 ahaha. Couldnt live without direct drive also!! Looks funky tho!!

I have a Technics SL- J 33 Linear tracking turntable . I Love it !

I'm not familair with the track but to my ears that's skipping all over the place (and before you say, it's not my connection. Thats just fine). Anyone?

A friend worked at a large electronic chain and the Technics reps from Japan called it Technics, pronounced tek-nicks.

Them there were three, Nice!

Skipping all over the place :/

I had one of those 80s Technics that was a sort of close-and-play version that had liner tracking. Hated it. Great music selection there BTW.

Guessing that's a non-powered arm? From what I'd been able to find, manual linear arms seemed to be rare. Must have been a job getting it aligned etc when installing.

une copie d'une platine Revox .....

I see the cutting pliers supporting one of the legs - is your work bench out of level, or the turntable? Did that model need to be super level for proper operation?

Im interested in one of these. I know we have likitationsnwith compression through YT but is rhis a good and full sound at a decently low volume or dontou have to kimda crank it uonto get that warm full sound? Obviously our definiteions and ideas of a fill sound might differ but, you know... I appreciate any insight you might jave tinoffer.

Not the prettiest receiver, but it's all about the performance. Looks like something Soundesign would have designed with those gaudy colored lights.

Thank you

Question sir I have a 680 with one channel not working any chance you can direct me on repairing it? Thank you

PS...Title of this music? I like it!☺🔥❤

I like that..."If it's too loud, you're too old!" Very nice Crown gear! I've owned Crown since the late 70's...❤👌

Have a hk505 with cycling protection circuit, one chanel draws a lot of current when i pass the protection, all transistors and diods seems fine. Its a pain to work on

I owned a Pioneer RT 707 that was purchased at the post exchange in Ramstein Airbase when I was stationed in Europe. Had used it for a number of years. Then I stashed it in the closet after buying a HiFi VCR. It did everything a reel machine does plus record TV / Cable shows and movies, although not as attractive. I gave away my reel for a song and dance years ago. Kinda regret it. I understand it's now going for about 10x the price I paid for it (330 in 1977 dollars).

We need skilled people like you here in New York City.

I have one. He has a flaw that I'm almost giving up on: he loses his station. It is there tuned, centered, with 4 SIGNAL LEDs, with stereo on, playing some songs perfectly... but suddenly the station is changed by itself, for example if it is on radio 99.9 it changes to 99.8 or 100.1 and leave the station. I wouldn't want to throw it in the trash. I like him very much. I can't find the service manual anywhere. Do you have any repair suggestions for me to do? I'm thinking about doing the full recap, but I'm not sure that will solve this problem of the station getting lost on its own. If you can help me I would be very grateful.

I looked on eBay there is the output transistors new replacement ones about 30 dollars a pair

I just got one today pristine condition for 40 dollars with the box and papers

First, is this shin-shirasuna (made in jp) or Roland (made in tw)? What was done to this unit? Why all this test gear when nothing is shown of its performance (electrical) as a receiver?

I got them now 😄 took me a random day and a old man who was selling his setup can't believe i paid £40 in COVID lol😅

Botched job the more PS audio I see the less I want it.

I recently took a chance and got the AP-1800 at online auction. Won the item with 1.2 seconds remaining to bid. Pretty sure it was never used. I've got it hooked to an old early 80's Kenwood with clean specs. I almost wept last night when I tested everything out. I'm into everything from hard rock to you name it. That clean output between the Kenwood (many underestimate the good amps Kenwood made) and the Heathkit is just phenomenal. I was even listening to The Nutcracker. Oh, couldn't agree more, I got totally fortunate that whomever built the Heathkit really nailed it. It's only got one switch that just feels a bit scratchy, but still no audible static when flipping the switch, just feels funky. As an ironic sidenote, Steely Dan's "Black Cow" is always my initial go-to test with new, used gear. Lol. Good taste.

I got the receiver from Pioneer I always wanted abaout 15 years ago. It's a SX-737. A receiver which is considered by many, many to be one of the best receivers Pioneer ever made. And you know what? I am strongly inclined to agree on that. This receiver, the SX-737, has a great smooth sound and I and many others love it. If I'm laucky? You don't need to ask.
