Hi, Klipsch Chorus from 1986. Thank you for watching and writing in.

Hi, thanks for watching. I finished this up but never made an update as I was super busy with receiver's, jukeboxes and pinball machines. I replaced the main filter caps, rebuilt the power supply, the amp boards, and cleaned all the controls. Came out nice and sold it pretty quickly. I apologize for not filming the rest. I am hoping to get time again soon to do more videos on repairs.

@@Pluralofvinylisvinyls thanks for writing. I’ve been selling for years and, knock on wood, haven’t had a complaint yet. Thanks again and enjoy the music.

Hi, thanks for writing. It means you need and alignment most likely. There are some receivers though that have hard to find chips for the era of dial indicator and digital display. The Sansui G- serries is one of those HTF chips. Good luck and enjoy some music.

Hi, thanks for watching. I am sorry I did not show that process. Starting from the inner most ring, each ring is 1/2 gram, so if you set you tonearm to 1.5 grams, place the line on the 3rd ring from the inside. For 2.0 grams go to the 4th ring. Hope this helps.

That setup sounds awesome. The KR9600 has enough power to push those hard. Thanks for writing in and for watching. Enjoy the music.

Thanks for watching and for writing in, I appreciate this. Enjoy the music.

Hope this video was helpful. Thank you for watching my video.

Thanks for writing. It does make most records payable and if they are expensive, hard to find records, it is worth it. Thanks for checking the page out, I really appreciate it. Enjoy the music.

Thank you for watching, hope this helped somewhat and that you are enjoying your turntable today.

Hi, thanks for writing in. I did send it back but if you read the guide lines that Discogs has setup, a record with a slight warp, that does affect play is VG+. I didn't make the guide lines up, I was just stating what they are. I am like you, I don't sell warped records at all. Thanks again and I really appreciate everyone's point of view and to hear from you all. Very Good Plus (VG+) Vinyl Generally worth 50% of the Near Mint value. A Very Good Plus record will show some signs that it was played and otherwise handled by a previous owner who took good care of it. Defects should be more of a cosmetic nature, not affecting the actual playback as a whole. Record surfaces may show some signs of wear and may have slight scuffs or very light scratches that don't affect one's listening experiences. Slight warps that do not affect the sound are "OK". The label may have some ring wear or discoloration, but it should be barely noticeable. Spindle marks may be present. Picture sleeves and inner sleeves will have some slight wear, slightly turned-up corners, or a slight seam split. An LP cover may have slight signs of wear, and may be marred by a cut-out hole, indentation, or cut corner. In general, if not for a couple of minor things wrong with it, this would be Near Mint.

Hi, the LED on the CCC is for your +8 volts and it should light up right away. There are other LED's down on the Mech Control board for scanning and home. They would light at different times. You have a notch on the back of your big gear spinning the carousal and it lights once per revolution to tell the mech board that that is Home. Let me know exactly which LED you are asking about and I will try my best to help out.

I have not looked into that one. I order the Impulse box set from VMP but that has not come yet. I will check out your recommendation.

Hi, there are a lot like that but I have come across some that are very spot on. It takes a lot of time to really look at a record to grade it properly. I sell on Discogs myself and try so hard to be correct on my assessments as being a collector first, I know how disappointing it is to receive a record that was not like you thought it would be. Thanks for writing in and enjoy some music today.

Hey there, thanks for writing in. Wow, that is a tough question as we all have different ears. But, my recommendations would be this; 2270 = can't go wrong with this one. 2238 is my second choice as this is a sweet sounding receiver. My last choice is a little pricey but the 2325 is a great unit, might be to big for your spot but these are sweet. Question...what speakers are you looking to use? This can also make a big difference is what you get. Hope this helps and let me know if you need more info.

@@bfpsa64 I found today the 2016 in a local shop for $ 200.00 excellent condition. What do you think ? As far as the speakers I haven’t buy anything yet

@@bfpsa64 WHAT ABOUT THE 2016B OR 2230 ? I found it for good prices those 2 ?

@@DanRockTV I have never has a 2216B but have done a few 2230. The 230 is another great low power receiver with good low end warmth. Again, a lot depends on what speakers you run. I have mostly Klipsch speakers of various models and they are very efficient speakers that need very little power to drive.

Hi, thanks for writing in. I have a KR-9400 playing now in my daily setup as it needed some time playing. I still have my KR-6400 also playing out in the shop. I like this series s they are easy to work on, lights are easy to change out. The only issue with the Kenwood's are those power packs. Hard to find them if they go bad. They are fairly low priced I feel due to the Darlington packs. Let me know if you get the KR-6400 you are looking at. Enjoy the hobby and thanks for tuning in.

Hey there, thanks for watching and writing in. I don't feel the lamps draw very much from the transformers as they are only 6 volts or so if I remember correctly. Look at the lamp circuit to be sure before doing anything. If you need some more advise please let me know and I will get on the computer out in the shop and look at the schematic again. Enjoy the music.

Hi, thanks for writing in and sharing your awesome story on your Sansui. When you get time at least clean the controls and work the power supply. This is where all the power sources come from so make those are correct at the minimum. Take your time and it will bring you lots of enjoyment for a long time.

Hi, thanks for writing in. I usually start by rebuilding at least the power supply section. This is where all the voltages come from and I feel they should be rebuilt and make sure voltages are correct. From there is comes down to performance whether or not I go any deeper. Enjoy the music you are playing from yours. Thanks

Thanks for writing. Well, the Yamaha CR series isn't quad so there is that. I like the sound of Yamaha receivers more then the Sansui. CR-1020 or CR-2020 or even the 1040/2040 are great receivers. Not man lights but they have great, warm sound and excellent tuning for radio stations.

@@bfpsa64 I appreciate your answer. So, what would be your pick if you were to buy an amplifier that sounds as good as Yamaha receivers, such vintage warm sound?

@@lovehorses2669 That is a hard one. We all have different taste and different ears. What sounds great to me might sound terrible to the next person. I seem to favorite Marantz for my receivers. You can't go wrong from the big 4 of the day but make sure they have at least the power supply rebuilt and all factory specs are inline.

If I recall these jukeboxes use the #73 mini lamp. I would need to look at it again to see if there is a sequencer board or where else they get their strobing signal.

HI, that was actually the CCC board. Hope that helps and if you need some info on the amplifiers let me know and I can get some out. Thanks

Hi, I did not know that. There are really cool receivers. Thanks for watching.

Hi, I live on Whidbey Island up in Washington State. I am about 90 miles north of Seattle.

@@bfpsa64 , I'm on the East coast. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thank you and thank you for watching. I appreciate you writing in. These are great receivers as are most vintage stereo receivers.

Thanks for writing in and for watching. The 2275 is a really nice receiver with more then enough power for most setups. It does have some large filter caps and transformer.

Great price for those 2 pieces. Thank for writing in and sharing your story. Let us know when you get the pre-amp going again. Enjoy the music.

@@bfpsa64 will take one more shot at it, then take it to a professional. I'm kind of a shade tree electronics guy.

Hi, I just weighed mine and it weighs 1.2 grams. Have you searched eBay for parts yet? I usually put reminders on them so I get emails when someone post something for sale I am looking for. Good luck on the search.

Thanks at least I know the weight that should help

It is a nice looking receiver. Thanks for watching and writing in.

Wow, awesome message. Thank you for writing in. The Pioneer line is great and you have some beauties there. Enjoy the music you listen to from them.

Hey there, There can be so many issues so hard to really know. Did you get a manual with this jukebox? You will need that for sure. You don't need any records in there to make it work. Does the mech scan at all? I'll try my best to help you out.

Thank you watching and writing in. It's so hard to recommend a certain stylus or even certain pieces of gear. Everyone has different hearing so, what I might like someone might not. The Shure cartridge this is running sounds great to me. I have also experimented with Ortofon cartridges and I really enjoy those. Do you still have the Shure cartridge on yours?

The cartridge says Excel ES-70S on and no idea what sort of stylus is in there. If I look up close it looks elliptical rather than spherical. I can see a little “spike” on it where it meets the vinyl. Been reading about headshells, cartridges and styli but worried I will get one that doesn’t fit. 😂

Was considering this one that comes bundled up Audio-Technica AT-XP3/H Cartridge Mounted with AT-HS6BK Headshell Blue

@@steven_cross Hey there, here is a link that talks about the Excel cartridges, and yes, the S on the end is for Spherical. This is a good read about your cartridge and I hope it helps you out. Write again if you need any more help or info. Enjoy the hobby. www.vinylengine.com/turntable_forum/viewtopic.php?t=98760

That is one of the very things I have been reading. 😅 I think Excel cartridges are hard to come by these days. Just not too sure what to replace it with. If my current one is spherical I’m wondering if elliptical would sound better (particularly at higher sort of treble like resonances).

Awesome that you are working on this one. Please write again if I can help in any way. Enjoy the music when you get it up and running.

Hey there, which one do you have?
