[NJARC] Hi from New Member

Frank,
    It would be impossible to diagnose any problem  without seeing the 
equipment, but I would suggest that you come to the meeting  next Friday 2/9 at 7:30 
at the Sarnoff Library.  Someone should be able to  point you in the right 
direction.  If it is portable enough, why not bring  it with you.  Check the 
website for further meeting information.

Regards and welcome,
Joe Devonshire

I  just wanted to say Hi to the list. My name is Frank Graziano, I am 25
years  old and I live in Wall, NJ. I was lucky enough to inherit a
vintage Fisher  console stereo system. I have never had a solid state
electronic before and  I look forward to learning more about the
technology and how to get it up  and running. 

The system contained the following  components:

Fisher 30-A Amplifier

Fisher 610-ST  Tuner

Garrard Turntable Model 210

I am not sure the  years on these components but they all seem to point
to the late  50's.

So far I was able to clean everything up and hook it all  back together.
Both fuses were fine. Upon first firing her up everything  seemed to be
in order. I was able to get pretty crisp response from the FM  tuner, the
speakers sounded good. I was able to successfully play a record  as well,
sounded very good. After about 10 minutes it started to hum and  smell
like it was burning so I shut it down immediately. From the small bit  of
knowledge I have gained it would seem that the Electrolytic  Capacitors
in the tuner/receiver are bad or going bad. I also don't know  much about
tubes, is there a way to test them without a tube tester (with  a
multi-meter perhaps?).

Thanks in  advance,

-Frank
