DYNAKIT STEREO PREAMPLIFIER PAS-2 No Serial Number Found
My Dynaco ST-70 amplifier runs quietly...the hum begins when the PAS-2 is fed into it. I'm not sure if the selector switch or other switches are at fault. The balance control does not work correctly.. Transformers checked out ok. The old power supply has been replaced by an upgrade SDS board assembly from Triode, inc. so that the quad condenser was disconnected from circuitry. The condenser can left in place for appearance. The unit needs a complete checkout.All tubes are new stock.

The Comcast remote stopped
turning the TV on/off and controlling the volume, although the
remote still changes the cable stations. I changed remote batteries
& reprogrammed but it didn't help. The Sharp remote also doesn't
work.
Adcom GFA-7500 #DH162995 ? 1 single channel
The unit blew the main fuse. I tracked it down to this single channel. The other 4 channels are working fine.
If this channel is plugged into the transformer, the main 15A fuse blows.
There are no visible signs of distress on the board or any components.

For a few days, my subwoofer has stopped producing sound.
I tested the speaker with my multimeter and it reads 4 ohms.
Connecting the subwoofer to the TV, I have a picture for calibration but no sound seems to come out of the speaker.
If I make noise with my hands, the microphone picks up the sound well and the frequency curve appears on the TV.

Large Velodyne CT-100 amp ser. 59229766- was working fine, was using line in and out to main amp for right front spkr...one night it started humming louder and louder. Equipment is upstairs so time it took to figure out what was going on, it was too late after powerdown. All I can figure is that there might have been too much from marantz avp7702 pre-out in bass setting in tone control. Not sure if that is even possible though as left front has same setup with another CT-100 and its fine. Maybe it was just time for a failure. Please advise on that.

1968 H.H.Scott Stereomaster 388-B SN 00454378
Using CD player and headphone to evaluate unit which I've own for 50 years. When plugged into the Extra input only one channel works. Plugged into Tape input both channels work but sound is dirty. Plugged into Phono input sound is dirty. FM works overall sound is booming. FM signal meter bottoms at 90% peaks to 100%. Loudness compensation not working.
I recently installed all new LED lights. Unit looks like new and has been handled with care.
Need quote and advice on whether it is worth restoring.
2 Adcom GFA-565 Repair Services
Hello, I will be shipping 2 GFA-565s to be serviced so I\'m assuming I should just double the price stated. They both have the leaky capacitors on the input boards & both had the distortion light on when powered up. I brought them to a local repair shop & explained the problem that these amps have but they were not able to repair. They may have replaced the caps on one or both but not sure if the boards were cleaned properly. I would rather have them replaced with the caps that you use on both anyway so that all of the parts are the same on both amps. One amp (serial ending with 583) has the wires to the input board spliced from removing it, if you could also fix that as well. On the same amp the wires to the LED lights on the front panel have been unplugged. I\'m not sure if anything was done to the other amp but they are both in nice cosmetic condition & should be worth fixing.
Call me if you have any questions. Thank you, Jim. 941-627-6735

Would like them "fixed up" new fans maybe, but problems were oft times click out on small loads.
Clean, fix what needs fixing, want to keep as original as possible, they are a great amp... Would like to look into 'bridging' also.

TWO (2) units need repair: Serial numbers 007213885 and 007213888. Both have been in storage many years and now show high DC voltage at output terminals.
They have a past history of blown 10-Ohm fusible resistors and Adcom #2A IC in the DC nulling circuitry. To the point where IC sockets were mounted on the boards! This was before we were aware of the leaking cap situation.
You will note acoustical damping materila on the inside lid and heatsink fins. No other mods have been made.

This order is for repair of "2" velodyne MIniVee subwoofer amps which have the same issue in that when connected they produce a static sound instead of bass.
I will need the repairs billed separately as the amp marked " E amp" was purchased from ebay and found to have the same issue as my previous subwoofer. Fortunately the seller was agreed to pay for repairs but I need to submit a repair invoice for cost and shipping.

2012ish Velodyne EQ-MAX 12 subwoofer amplifier
I had amp problems within 1st year and sent back to Velodyne to replace amp. Working great since then, but I recently noticed that no sound is coming out of the sub. However, the blue indicator light is on in front. Remote has no effect.
My setup is this: output from preamp goes to sub onboard crossover, then its output goes to a separate amp and on to my main speakers. The main speakers work fine with this set up as of today, so I believe its the internal amp.
I have tried power cycling. I changed the batteries in remote, but sub doesn't recognize it (it might be broken as well).
I can ship entire sub or remove the amp and send w/ remote (I'm a MIT engineer, but do software ;-)) Shipping may have to wait for a week or so.
Thanks,

The TV is 'better', before it wouldn't even stay in standby mode. Now it at least has a red light when it is plugged in. As we discussed, when I turn it on with the remote, the light goes green and after about six or seven seconds, there are two relay clicks and it powers down. The red light flashes quickly, continuously.
As you stated, I double checked all the connections and reseated each, including the itty bitty ribbon cable.
I shipped both sustain boards to you about an hour ago via UPS. Hopefully, that will be it! The tracking number is 1Z6E97A10374740456. Let me know what I will owe you and I'll go back to your website and take care of it.

ACI Titan Subwoofer plate amplifier (made by Triad Audio for ACI which was based out of Lacrosse, WI)
The amp started humming loudly one day. Nothing changed, Internal hum, not a grounding issue. I thought it was a failed capacitor so I replaced both with Nichicon of same value. Hum is gone but amp not working. Might be outside of my pay grade. No schematics available. ACI out of business. I have reached out to Triad but have not heard back yet.
Acom GTP-600 Repair Service
Hello Warren,
Usually there is no problem with adjustment but gtp-600s have problem with power supply
and good idea to replace bridge rectifiers and capacitors in power
supply module and inspect/resolder for soldering joints at main board.
Total with power socket and other things will be about $120.
Thanks,
Paul.

The Sunfire Subwoofer has poor sound quality indicating probably issues with capacitors. I assume I would remove and ship only the Sunfire Subwoofer plate amplifier for the service?
Acoustic Research loudspeakers. Model AR58s.
I've had these speakers since the early 1980s. I was wondering if it would be worth it to have them re-capped as the capacitors are going on 40 years old. They still sound great as they are, so it's possible I should just leave them alone. Would you be interested in re-capping them?
Thanks.

Unit made a loud humming noise and lost audio.
Acoustic Research Sunfire AR1 Amplifier
For a long time the unit had small buzz when first turned on but would fade after several minutes. After that, it would distort very low frequencies on loud passages. This condition lasted for over a year and I did not bother with repair. Now there is a very loud hum when the amp is turned on that does not fade. In fact, it is so loud I am afraid to keep the switch turned on. The other speaker shows no signs of failure and so I've decided to send only this one in for repair.

I've owned a pair of these speakers both with a 500w built-in
powered subwoofer for over 17 years. Recently, within a month, both
subwoofers no longer power on. I pulled both amps and replaced the
faulty 250v/5amp fuse in both and immediately new fuses blew upon
powering on. I believe age has worn down some of the outputs as the
speakers have not otherwise been damaged. However, I did note some popping from the right subwoofer a week before it stopped powering on. Also, a few of the cylinders looking nodes on the panel look misshaped. Could you also inspect the components for any looming issues. Thank you. Respectfully, Jeremy

The Amplifier power outlets tend to stay engaged and remain on when they should be turned off. The relay problem is intermittent but frequent enough to reproduce pretty easily. One outlet does not seem to be any more reliable than the other although I have never tested them at the same time to see if both outlets stick on at the same time. The have always turned on the outlets just not off. Accessory outlets appear to work fine and trigger with appropriate delay.

Bought this unit used for a good price on eBay. It is in excellent cosmetic condition, but with certain Unexpected defects. It was stated to be in good operational state, but other than the lone working unswitched outlet, all the other outlets don’t power on at all. Power switch I presume is not working. Front panel LEDs also don’t light up as well. Most 515 conditioners (whether square or round power switches), have a circuit breaker in the rear panel, while this unit is fitted with a fuse. Can a circuit breaker be retrofitted into this unit and if so, how much of an additional cost. Is the current turn around time still 5 weeks or so? Thanks!

Skips. Usually a second or two. Almost always skips forward (ie, I don\'t think I\'ve heard it skip backwards).
This is a recent problem - it has had very little use over the past 10 years. When I started using it again recently it worked well for a couple months (it might have had trouble finding the beginning on very full discs, but otherwise well). Then it began the skipping, and that got worse and worse very quickly/

The amber display on the player cd player abruptly quit. Surprising as the unit has only been used sparingly over the past year. Likely no more than 12 times.
Display quit. No more illumination.
Additionally, the power switch is also very buggy right now. Sometimes it works and other times it doesn’t. All of the control buttons seem “spongy†or soft, as if they’re not quite making a solid contact.
That appears to be all that is wrong, but while you have it there, would you please run your diagnostic skills on it.

When I open the CD drawer often it closes itself before I can put a CD in. Once the CD is in and indexed and ready to play, if I try to play say track 5 it goes back and plays the first track. Now it does not even do that, with the CD in the tray it makes a little sound like it is trying to "engage" the CD but it can't. I hope you can repair it because it is one of the few players with a volume control and that is a facility that I must have as I do not use a preamp.

If I let the unit 'warm up' by turning on and it letting sit for an extended period of time, the disc will start rotating when inserted and the unit operates normally.

Adcom GCD-600 Repair Service
I have ordered 2 repair services and I am packaging and shipping a GCD-600 and a GTP-500 II together in one box.
My GCD-600 began skipping occasionally about a year ago and it has slowly been getting worse. Initially, the majority of the time CDs would skip at the beginning of a disc (track 1 or 2). It recently began skipping elsewhere too, although not on every disc, probably 1 disc in 4. I have used a laser cleaning disc and I’ve cleaned the laser by hand (alcohol and Q-tip) but it did not help. I was very gentle and careful, but it actually seems to be even worse now. Occasionally after a disc finishes playing and the player advances to the next disc, the tray will advance past a disc as if there were no other discs loaded. Also, it will now sometimes stop at a disc, attempt to load several times and then stop and do nothing (I believe I am hearing the arm/laser move into position and back out again several times).
There is another problem that has been happening intermittently almost since new. After pushing the close button to load a disc, the tray will close and spin as usual but when the tray stops the LCD display does not show the number of tracks and the total disc time as usual (just \"1 01 : \") and none of the buttons work. The play button, the 1-5 disc selection buttons, the 1-10 track selection buttons etc do nothing. The open/close button usually doesn’t work for the first few pushes either, but after several pushes eventually the tray will open. Typically when I close the tray again the second time, everything will work fine; the disc will load correctly, show the correct display and the buttons will function normally again. Turning the power off and on again will also typically correct the problem.
Note: I made one internal modification a few years ago that I should explain. When closing the tray, it would slide in then immediately pop open again. I figured out that there was a switch inside that controlled that, and it appeared that the tray was not contacting the switch enough. Seeing no way to adjust it, I used a piece of shrink tubing over the arm of the switch to act as a shim so it would contact the tray sooner. I have not had any trouble with the tray popping open since, but I thought I should mention it in case there is a possibility that it may have something to do with any of the other problems.

Hi, here are the issues in order of severity:
1. CD tracks will skip, not all the time, but I am too frequently opening the drawer, spinning the disk or moving the disk to a different slot in hopes of eliminating the skipping.
2. I'll push the close button, and the drawer will hang up and I have to manually help it close.
3. The drawer will be open, and will close on its own, meaning I didn't push the play or close button.
Those are the big issues. The carousel and drawer will make a little bit of noise; not sure if that is normal or a symptom of an issue.
FYI - I will be overseas from 2/21 through 3/22 but I will be checking email if you need to communicate with me. Thank you.

Hi Paul,
I'm back for some repairs yet again to my GCD-750 cd player. Sadly, I have used it only lightly since getting it back last November, just under a year. The problem this time; despite all the functions appearing to work, the disc spinning and the readout indicating the proper track and time as it plays, there's no sound out. I switched cables from a working player to the GCD-750, no change. I then switched to a different input on the back of the pre-amp, no change, still no sound.
I've also noticed the brass toggle switch is "soft" sometimes it engages, sometimes it doesn't. In fact, all the front panel buttons feel soft. I love this player, could you possibly upgrade some of the internal components? Test for other components that might be close to failing. I was thinking about modifications to give it more life and possibly enhanced sound. Does any of this sound doable:
Replace the decoupling caps with larger value metallized film caps.
Add Sanyo Os-Con SVPG decoupling caps to the +5v, -5V, and -15v.
Replace the original output coupling caps.
Replace the original output transistors.
I just want to make this player last as long as possible.
Thank you very much!!

I have owned this cd player for the last twelve years and it has performed beautifully. I had it connected with xlr cables to a SONY preamp. It sat for a while and I recently switched it to rca connectors for a different system. The problem is that now there is no sound. It seems to power up OK and the laser is reading cds. The toggle on switch has always been sensitive, so I typically used the remote to turn it on. I am thinking it may have taken a power surge or something, although I had it connected to an adcom power conditioner. I would like to send it to you for an evaluation and estimate. I have the original packaging. Thank you.

Adcom GCD-750 #04041 08 06
On occasion there is no sound, but display shows tracking and playing. After leaving for a day or so (or perhaps unplugging and replugging, I'm not sure) then works fine. Recently, started skipping on first and last tracks on certain CD's. Now skipping pretty much everywhere. Side note - I bought some new carpet and I am getting a lot of static build up, this unit was on the receiving end a couple of times.

ADCOM GCD-750 CD PlayerADCOM GCD-700 5 Disc CD Player
The GCD-750 has a few issues. Most notably, it simply won't read/play a disc or it jumps into the disc a few tracks and hangs up. I keep my CDs in clean, pristine shape. Not home burned discs, major labels (2500+). Then sporadically it might begin to play, but the signal was barely audible. I thought it might be loose/bad cables or possibly the pre-amp (a GFP-750). But swapping an inexpensive Sony player into the same CD input with the same cables and the sound was fine. Prior to this issue, the player would occasionally skip a track. After a thorough disc cleaning, it would be ok for 20-30 minutes then skip or stop.
On another odd issue, the lamp inside the player’s lcd readout quit years back, I had it repaired through an Adcom certified dealer, Tune Street in Great Barrington, MA, but when it was returned, rather than the amber/yellow light they put in a blue-ish/white light. Is it possible to return to factory light?

The GCD-700 has similar problems as the GCD-750. It has consistent difficulty starting/playing CDs after advancing 1 disc to the next. For instance; Disc 2 ends – the player advances to Disc 3 successfully then stops at the instant it should play. This has been happening for months now. Just weeks ago the player developed an output issue where the signal from one channel was virtually dead, the other I believe is ok. When the player works, it’s a great 5 disc player, but the past 6 months it’s been useless.

Panamax MAX 5510 PRO ACRegenerator has a damaged power button. This is 1 of 2 units I have, the 2nd still works flawlessly. The unit for repair new in the box for 5 years before being used. It was used very lightly from 2012 to 2014. It never took any surges or hits. However, a very heavy handed “house sitter†was trying to turn the unit off (despite already being off) as the meters were illuminated but the unit was off. The power switch works on a delay, but the button must have been repeatedly jammed in. Something broke and now it won’t engage and remain on to power on the components. I can email the PDF of the manual if helpful. The power button does have a trick to it when working, now it’s just a spongy, broken button.

That’s it. If you’d like any additional details call or email anytime.
Thank you very much!

I have a GDA 700 that makes clicking sounds and loses the digital signal for a few seconds. The \"sampling rate\" led indicator on the
fron panel goes out when the signal drops out. It happens with a source from any of the inputs (balanced, optical or coax). Sometimes
it works for a few minutes, but eventually it drops the signal repeatedly.

This is a unit that you repaired (bad channel, replaced caps) about a year or two ago. It now has an intermittent oscillation on Channel A. It starts as a clicking noise, then gradually increases in frequency to about 1 or 2 kHz, then stops. After a while it repeats. This happens by just applying power, with no inputs plugged in.

GTP-500 - left CD channel is burned. I was fishing an 1/8 TRS-->RCA through the wire mess and touched the tip to the red binding post on the amp. Note the amp displayed the same symptoms prior to this event.
I re-fused both units. Symptoms are the same.
Tested 545 by swapping physical speakers from L-R. Swapping inputs L-R, in each physical speaker position to eliminate the speaker, speaker placement, etc...
Tested the 500 and it works on the other inputs, just the L CD input is out.

Right Channel has very audible \"static\" noise. This noise includes some element of \"white\" background noise with popping sounds from time to time. When the speaker cables are swapped at the amplifier binding post, the noise and popping swapped as well - consistently following the same amplifier speaker output. Static and popping also continues with no component input (all source and preamplifier components powered off). I am not sure if the left channel has any issues since I did not get a clean listen with the right channel making so much overhead noise. Please repair/restore my amplifier back to the audio quality/specifications I used to love :)
I am also missing a single rubber filler plug on the side of the chassis - if you happen to have one for replacement, that would be great!

a third party had a party and spiked the amp apparently. Blew speakers on the right channel and the right channel of the amp is distorted etc.
It was spiked by having it turned up and connected to a computer source then turning the computer up as well. Probably some sort of crappy club music with exponential base . ( it was my son home from Europe, enough said)
