  • You found the Stereo or Amplifier of your dreams at a Yard Sale or Thrift Store, GREAT!
    But before you hook it up to your favorite pair of Speakers you may want to give it a check up first.
    I use CAIG DeOxit Cleaning Solution for those dirty pots and switches..... amzn.to/2ZNbQR5
    Every time you buy from these amazon links my channel gets a small percentage (3-5%) This money does not come from you! It comes from Amazon. These funds allow me to purchase items so I can make videos....Thank you for your support.

    a really good thing to do, I wouldn't want to ruin my mid 90's techniques that sound great.

    Sniff test for burnt stuff, look under the lid for smoke sign.

    I had a nice Yamaha receiver for free that was really a mess, and loved to eat new parts. It is/was DC coupled and popped one of my test speakers. So yes this is a good heads up

    Measure the power before connecting speakers to it

    I've got to open my vintage Fisher 125 back up. It worked great after using deoxit on it for about few months, but it's already scratchy and having issues with the right channel again on the stereo/mono switch and on the band selector.

      Have you tried CRC QD cleaner before you DeOx? That has worked for me.

    hey I watch your videos and I like them I have a 2-channel stereo a Sony stereo receiver it is blown right now I have two 8-inch bookshelf speakers on it I'm thinking about getting it fixed but it's not playing at the moment so I don't know if I want to send it to get it fixed or what but I'm going to get it fixed though

      1st.. Thank you for watching this channel:) IMHO if you like your Sony receiver then get it repaired. But if you think you may want to try something else then maybe look for a vintage receiver. As you know an AV receiver won't cut it as far as 2ch stereo sound is concerned. Again Thank you.....BB23

    Hi there, my kenwood KR 5070 receiver suddenly lost volume. It is so low even when I put it on the highest level. Occasionally the sound hits the highest bursts of sound. I hate to give up on it. Any thoughts? Played fine since 2006. Thank you, D Ann

      Fiddle around with the Vol control, speaker A&B, balance, mode selector, tape & source controls. If your are lucky you just have a dirty control switch or knob. I have seen this happen quite often.
