I've been accused of having loose screws, but keep them in a tray when dismantling these boxes. You are braver than I am having then scattered on the worktop. Years of experience & confidence I suppose. Love how methodical you are - great channel!
I picked one up from Goodwill few days ago. It belonged to a smoker. I gave it a good cleaning inside out and fader lube on the pots/switches. It sounds so good and has quality parts inside.
Thanks a lot friend for helping with this amazing explained video. I enjoy the good sound, vinyls mainly, but I am not an audio-fool neither. Now, I going to make maintenance to my Yamaha AX-700 amplifier that I have never used since I bought it by eBay several years ago and now it sounds with really low volume. All the best wishes from Medellín, Colombia.
Gradation 120 is a lot for the job. I use exclusively metal polishing paste on a cotton cloth which I pinch to the relay contacts and polish the contacts. After that I clean them with deoxite. After such treatment the relay is like new.
Great video, Dave ! I think that the cheap price syndrome has been around since the inception of all electronics equipment ! I remember as a kid, my dad obsessing over the price of having the TV repairman come out to repair our TV, as there was a house call charge on top of the repair itself!!
Good video, have a pioneer a-331 behaving exact same, sadly doesn't have jumpers and its a dinosaur of a board, but got a couple points to look for from this 👍👍
Around 15:30, when you pressed the CD Direct button some times, inititally there was a major attenuation and difference in sound. Good call straight away saying how there are still noisy controls. When the differences became much less after operating controls mere seconds later, it was cool, anyone would have to say. Nice!
I have a ax 730 and ,these have a problem is in a protection mode,what could be a problem with her??all transistors are good right now ,what happend with her ?i have DC to one channel
Great video. I was wondering if a VU meter can be added to this amp? Would you be able to guide me on that? I know it's a stretch goal for me :) Thank you !
Thanks for your video. It reminds me of my Pioneer A-X720 Amp that i set aside because it was distorted. The heatsink won't warm. All power amp transistors where replaced already but give poor result.
Hey Dave, have you worked on this unit before? Someone has already been in there and added a heatsink to the 4D4B41 bridge rectifier. It's a good addition and one I always do myself.
Those Omrons of that vintage fail often, I replace on sight. Quality replacement costs like $8. Cleaning can work but in my experience isn’t reliable long term. 120 grit though, that will remove the dirt and oxide, and the plating too. Ouch 😙
They are a lot more than that by the time they get here. 9.00 for relay, 8.00 shipping and then fed ex adds an extra special surprise, 37.50 in broker charges. Been down that road before. I had a customer that I ordered a part from, and was assured by digikey that there were no additional fees and was assured that what I was charged was what it costs. I quoted my customer the price of the part plus shipping. Because these days if you quote too high a price for the part and they can look it up, they slam you as a crook. The part was a 5.00 part with 8.00 shipping. I charged 15 for the part including shipping. 3 weeks later I get a bill from fed ex for 37.50. I only charged 40.00 to install the part, and now I am at a loss. I saw him at a coffee shop a few weeks later and asked him how his tape deck was doing and he said great, and then I told him I got a bill from fed ex for broker charges and his response was, thats too bad, had you told me that the part was 37.50 more I would have told you to keep it. So no, I really don't give a shit these days how long something lasts. It it lasts 6 months and fails again and it come back, I charge again. I really don't care how long it lasts, because I make pretty much nothing doing this. That's the reason I got out of the business in the first place in 2003. I do repairs now more of as a favor, I don't charge allot because people will just scrap stuff if the cost is too high. Ordering in any specialty oarts these days is too expensive for the vast majority.
I agree that the paper is way too coarse, but it won't remove the plating because the contacts are not silver plated, they are silver *alloy*. I would use something between 800 and 2000 grit, because the deep scratches a 120 grit paper causes on the contacts reduces the contact area.
@@12voltvidsUse a folded strip of 600 or higher grit wet-sanding paper with some contact cleaner. Then wash the contacts with isopropanol alcohol, because contact cleaner is aggressive en will "eat" the contacts for a long time afterwards.
I have one of these ... it is the worst for dust getting into the switches and controls .... have to clean it every 6 months ... meanwhile I have a Optimus from RS bought in the early nineties ... never cleaned the controls ever.... still plays fine.
I dont understand ? I have this model. The bass reglage is to low or what. Output whit max bass is not much. Is litle without loudnrs min. Example another amplif grundig r 2000 has more bass at same speaker and source. It s a trouble about yamaha or is normal like this.
I think most Audiophools have gone now. I remember at an Audio expo I was at a private room demo of some silly $2000 stones that you would place your speakers and amp on for "antivibration and correct sitting" That was together with those $800-1000 power strips that would "clean the ac current"

That is vintage Nutrol. You can still buy it but the modern stuff is alcohol based. The old stuff was freonTF based and that is no longer made. I have 2 cans left. When it is gone it us gone.
This is good amp, "small" problem with this amplifiers is small idle current with high sensitivity speakers. I had to on Sony F419R set almost twice idle current than stated in service manual with 90dB/W/1m speakers, now have this amp excellent sound without any hear-able distortion. And of course relay, this is pain on all old amp because silver platted contacts have oxidation.
My friends dad , who I got to know well , was working in a repair shop when a woman brought in a TV for repair. He was told to give her a price quote before even opening up the set to inspect it .

I have a Yamaha like this its switches are bad again going to clean them some time. I don't use the amp though as to much RF from my transmitter makes it turn off again.
yea i like amp output section on that to me Yamaha build layout in the late 70s to 80 was realy cluttered realy packed in there this ones nice clean i was expecting to see stks in there lol!
The intro was made using an old version of Avid video studio (sold as Pinnacle studio 14) but I cut everything woth premiere, which doesn't have all the overkill special effects that are used on indian weddings but is fast. Pinnacle sold out to Coral and I never quite got the new version. I have it, I bought it, but never have really learned to use it. Also slow as mollases in january working with 4K files.
Oh Dave BTW, you mentioned something about the power supply in the AX700....is it possible or worth it to put a power supply that had more beef but not too much to fry it?
What does the MM/MC switch actually do electronically and is there a danger to using an MC cartridge with an amp/receiver that doesn't have that switch or circuitry?
The MC/mm switch changes the preamp between a moving coil and a moving magnet cartridge. Moving coil is a very low output they requires much more gain than a moving magnet so if you put a moving coil on a photo that is designed for moving magnet you will have very low sound and also because the load is different the frequency response will be way off by contrast if you put a moving magnet cartridge in the moving coil position it will be overloaded loud and very low fidelity but no it won't hurt anything it will just sound like shit
