    Hey Hey! Thanks for your video, very fun to watch. I recently picked up a vintage Magnavox entertainment center, but the Turntable was not included... The new turntable is connected to phono, but it fades out whenever it's turned on, and the power and amp go out. In other forums, they said it was due to the phono connection expecting the turntable and thinking there are no records to play and shuts off the system- they also suggest soldering a jumper between the "hot" and return wires of the turntable power harness. I'd love to know your thoughts on that and if you can do a demo of the soldering needed to make it work. I do not have the old Turntable and wondering if its the right solution because one end of the harness won't be connected to anything...

    • @RobsFixitShop
      @RobsFixitShop 17 днів тому

      It's been awhile since I worked on it, but when phono is selected it expects the turntable to turn the amp on and off. You can make a jumper wire from automotive connectors and jump the bottom 2 wires on connector shown here: 1drv.ms/i/s!AgRy1tCE6lTdgv9ASoAqC5xi_o_pKA?e=WuufOj

I have been having issues with my cueing dropping a few bars into the first track of the side. I've identified the adjustment from the manual, but I cannot figure out where it's located on the actual chassis. Any help? I'd love the rehab it back to my "A" deck.

    I purchased this amp and speaker cabinet combo in 1978. It pretty much still looks like the day I bought it as I only used it on gigs several times. Recently I started getting some distortion so I brought it to a repair shop in Philly. The tech told me that the pre amp was shot and that unfortunately that it was no longer manufactured. The distortion is not constant so I still use it as a practice amp. I've had it for so many years and I really hate the thought of parting with it. Is there any way that another another pre amp, with the same electrical characteristics could be utilized? The other thought I had was to part with the head and replace the 4 ohm speakers within the cabinet with 8 ohm speakers, the reason being that I cannot seem to find a guitar amp head that is 4 ohm. Any comments or insights would be greatly appreciated.

      I would take it to another shop. The preamp is all mixed together with the effects so I don't think you can just replace it. The preamp runs at like 40 volts. I had issues with the zener diode in the voltage regulator on the main board for the preamp power supply. I would check the input voltage, replace all the caps, and then test again. If it is the transistors in the preamp they're easy to replace too. Also and this is me thinking way back, isn't the distortion switched on, on the distortion pot? When I first got the amp I had issues with that switch. Maybe a clean-up would fix it?

    Hi! I'm curious, I have an Amaco Electic Potter's Wheel No 1-101, it's vintage... and the motor is a DC motor and described as the following in the paperwork Amaco sent me. They no longer make parts for this or motors so I wondered what you recommended I could replace or repair it with? From the spec sheet "This wheel is driven by a two-speed 1/3 H.P. motor connected to a gear reduction unit by a heavy duty flexible coupling. Wheel speeds are controlled by a three position switch - Low for 65 R.P.M., High for 95 R.P.M., and Off."

    The problem with the phono is a failed motor, specifically weak magnets. A disassembling and good oiling will help, but it really needs a new motor. Newer Magnavox consoles used the same motor up through the late 1970's.
