I got tired of constantly getting up to change the volume so I attached a small dc motor with an IR receiver to the volume nob. Works subrisingly well!

I know it doesn't look as pretty with that belt but the comfort is very beneficial.

We just bought a new house and this was left behind. It was all hooked up to speakers (that you guys would KILL me for having already donated 🫣) so I think it works but really don’t know. It’s heavy as heck but after researching it I would love it to go to someone that cares about it. Any of you near the central coast of California or want to pay the shipping plus a bit of time? Apologies for not washing it up before taking the terrible photos.

Father passed away he worked at Pacific Stereo and Cal Hi-Fi back in the day. This was his home audio setup, I got to grow up listening to my records on it. Unfortunately we have to liquidate it. It was all working a few years ago but it looks like the turntable has some issues. I would like to find a place for it in the San Francisco Bay Area as shipping the speakers and cabinet will be very expensive. Please let me know if you know of any resources I could approach about selling the entire set and having it picked up. Thanks!

What’s wrong with this picture

I’m currently looking at replacement speakers for my 1st gen RF7’s and I came across this ad for some JBL L7’s. Any thoughts on why the mid and woofer surrounds are wrinkled like that? I’ve seen this on quite a few used speakers for sale. My first guess is that they were overdriven but I’m not positive

Realistic Optimus 4 positioning

2 Upvotes

These guys typically come with stickers on the bottom indicating how to position them, but mine are missing. Can anyone assist me with setup? I assumed that the little side tweeters should both face inwards, but both speakers have them on the right side. They were $26 for the pair at savers and sound pretty great as is, but I’ll definitely take a peek inside soon to see what’s going on. I snagged them thinking they were just cool, heavy side tables, and was delighted when I saw the connectors for speaker wire on the bottom when loading them into my car.

I’m not great with Reddit and it’s not letting me add a picture, but I’ll try to edit or put one in the comments.

JVC R-X60

Hooked up to Design Acoustics PS 8b. 55 watts. It makes a beeping noise when in radio search. Those who remember Japanese cars from the 1980s will appreciate all the lights. A couple pluses for the era are that they are colorful, much lighter than the hefty ones from a decade prior, still have a phono amp but may include some more modern input options. And JVC equalizer known as S.E.A, is a nice touch.

Picked up this beautiful Marantz CD-3577 and it sounds incredible. Can’t find too much info about it online, seems like there’s a handful of listings and not too many details.

Sanyo M1120 Cassette player Manual

I just bought a Sanyo m1120 but unfortunately it's a bit broken but I think it's an easy fix if I could just get my hands on the Service Manual so I was wondering if anyone got it because I don't really wanna spend 150 bucks to go to a repair store

Where do you guys have the best luck finding equipment to fix up and refurbish? I’d like to give it a try but everything I find on fb marketplace or Craigslist already seems overpriced or refurbished already. Thanks for any insights.
