You can also make a fairly useful cord by using crimp on
connectors that usually mate with spade connectors. Open the
grabbers a bit for the thicker pins. If you are careful you
won't start a fire if they get pulled off of the deck.

Message-ID: <009501c1f125$d6161560$c39efea9@n4xy>

I don't know if this is OT or not... but thought I'd mention that I am
in the process of 'reconing' (it really should be called: "refoaming")
my AR-91 speakers. Old speakers with foam surrounds (it's a circle of
foam that connects the main cone to the edge in the largest speaker
[woofer/etc] in a so-called "bookshelf" speaker) have them 'rot' (that's
what they call it-the foamed plastic stuff literally disintegrates) and
hence fail. I let mine sit for several years after they did this, and
finally got my courage up and bought a replacement kit (~$30 for the
pair.) 

You can do a search on "speaker reconing" or, I dealt with:
<http://www.simplyspeakers.com/2doityourself.htm>. Their phone serrvice
and subsequent kit was very satisfactory. A small generic pamphlet on
how to do it, the 2 foam surrounds specifically for my speakers, and
more than enough glue for the job. Commercial estimates on this job
seemed to be over $100 each plus shipping.

Wow. It's not that hard to do, and works like a million. I just wanted
to put this out for others who may have thought they had to junk a
perfectly good-otherwise-set of expensive speakers.

Ed, 	
	
No, this is not off topic. Right on, in fact. A nice description of how you did
this might prove very helpful to others with a similar need.   	
	
I do not know who provides the kit, but there is one that allows you to recone
the Altec Lansing speakers. I know several who have used it with good results.
If you are able to do this yourself, it is much less costly than having the
speakers professionally reconed.  	
	
If any of you are interested, I can find out who the source is for the Altec
Lansing kits.

Amazing!! I was working in an audio dealership when these things hit the
market. Most of them blew up shortly after the warranty ran out. Bose
quickly learned that it was in over it's head and dis-continued manufacture.
Haven't seen one since the 70s! You may have the  only one still in
existence that still works<G>.

This is good advice. I have run a repair biz for over 30 years, and have
seen this problem many times. You  would be amazed at how many otherwise
good speakers show up at the local recycling center with this problem. This
"foam" stuff is made from OIL, and after about 20 years, reverts back to
from what it came from. Two options: Replace drivers, or re-foam. From my
standpoint, cost is about the same. One way, more labor costs, the other
way, more parts costs. Big factor is whether original drivers are still
available. Sometimes, newer drivers can be installed with a net improvement
in performance. Sometimes not.

Hi,

All the discussion about re-coning and re-foaming
speakers has got me wondering about my Dynaco A-25s.
I bought them in 1971 when I was in high school and
they are still my main speakers.  I've never even
had the grill covers off.  They still sound great
to me.  Is there anything in them that might be
expected to deteriorate with age?

Subject: [Vintage-Audio] Re Foam Front Panel Designs
Message-ID: <200205011817.g41IHsN24642@hades.usol.com>

	
I own a pair of J.B. Lansing Century L-100 speakers, circa 1974. These are the
good ones, before J.B. Lansing was sold to? A wonderful 50 watt continuous RMS
three-way system.	
	
The original cabinets had a foam front cover with little foam squares for a nice
design. Unfortunately, after five to ten years, the foam started to deteriorate
and flake off. I contacted a distributor of today's J.B.L. speakers in Detroit,
MI and inquired about a replacement front cover. The foam design was not
available, no loss! I did purchase a kit to make a cloth cover on a wood frame
that match the cabinet. Complete with J.B.L. metal logo. 	
	
They were not difficult to construct and fit perfectly. Looked great, and still
do.	
	
I also have a contact in Oxford, MI Judith Fulkerson who recones speakers
professionally. She knows what she is doing too! A good pair of speakers,
reconed, will outlive their owner.

I am looking for an Astatic J-30 Crystal Mic
(bullet shape)

these came in a crystal and dynamic  version
and in narrow and wide frequency response versions.

I want the wide range version...which is probably also the crystal
element mic.

reasonable price please based on condition.
cosmetics and cord not a barrier
.. original element in working condition is desired of course.

will take untested or untestable mic  if cheap.

Message-ID: <003701c1f144$f109b560$9ccdf7a5@verio>

I am interested in buying  old guitar,  and instrument amps to rebuild
and use.
Dead but resonably complete is appropriate to my needs.

Nothing with mold and mildew please. Dust dirt, missing knobs and bad
speakers are ok, if priced accordingly.

I especially like old, and odd looking stuff, from 30's and 40's.
Moderne, decco, etc is great.. the odder the better.
50's is fine too.  But I am not loaded with loot.

I am very selective about AC/DC amps.. mostly dont want them..unless
they are quite special looking... or very cheap.

Very small amps are fine.
I want pictures, if possible, even if you have to lay it on your scanner
.

I'd like to purchase a couple.

Suggest you pop the grills off and take a look. Can't remember if that
particular one used foam surrounds or not. Given the age, it could go either
way. If they ARE foam, you can bet that they are on their way out.

Chances of finding one that still works: practically zero. These are old.
All crystal elements deteriorate with heat and humidity.

Good post Ed !.. Not one week ago I pryed the grills off my old AR-2's - 
they haven't been used in years. Nothin' but a ring of air where the foam 
used to be. I put the grills back on and thought, "I'll worry about that 
tomorrow. Yea, that's it. Tomorrow."  Well now I know what to do about 
it.  Thanks for the info.

I just got some more of these but they cost me a little more so I will have to

Hi All, 	
	
Do any of you have, or know of, a pair of the James B. Lansing Century L-115
speakers for sale? I may have the wrong model number. The Century L-100 has a
tweeter, mid-range and twelve inch woofer. The model I want, has a fifteen inch
woofer. I think the cabinet is oiled Walnut with a front tuned bass reflex port.
I can get them reconed if necessary.

Found at a 5/03 Minneapolis Garage Sale


The enclosure volume is a bass reflex type, inside volume, 31+ACI- W x 27+ACI- H x

Model AXIOM 22 MK II
Rating 20 watts, 15 ohms
Wembley-Middlesex England

Wt, approx. 15 lbs.

Speaker Cone intact.
Surround intact, However some of the fiber at the end has been pulled away
near where the attachment bolts go through.  Can be repaired, i.e. glued
easily.

Only one bolt attached when I opened it , A second bolt, the head had
snapped off.

Speaker was a flopping in the wind when cracked the seal,  Fortunately lithe
damage was done.

Does anyone happen to know anything about this mfg. etc.?

Hello to the list:

Does anyone have a schematic for the AR-1500 stereo receiver?  I'd love to
buy a full manual, but just the schematic will do for now.  A good scan
would be great, but I'd be happy to pay for copying and mailing as well.

Thanks for your help.

Message-ID: <200205061517.g46FHFN02178@hades.usol.com>

	
Several of you have wanted to be removed from this list because you were
receiving virus, or strange looking mail. You are safe here. There is no need
for panic or worry.	
	
A virus needs an attachment. The mailman.qth.net systems strips all attachments
out before a post is sent to this list, or any other. You can ONLY receive a
virus in your personal mail, not on this list! The qth.net lists are among the
safest anywhere. The owner, Alan Waller, K3TKJ, goes to a great extent to make
them as safe as possible. What he can not do, is make you use your computer with
wisdom and proper safeguards. That is your responsibility.	
	
Rule #1: NEVER open attachments, no matter who they are supposed to be from.
Why? Because some virus programs will fake the sender and you may think it is
from a trusted friend. Wrong!	
	
Rule #2: If the 'subject field' looks strange, do NOT open the mail! Delete it
immediately. Such things as: "Somebody Is Talking About You", "Information You
Requested", "Personal And Confidential, Open Immediately", "Virus Warning Please
Read", " etc. Some will appear to be from a business contacting you about a
problem with your account. Some will appear very authentic. Wrong! Use the
delete key.	
	
Rule #3: If you can set your mail client to limit a file size to no more than
39K, do so. Generally speaking, a virus will be at least 40K. Hence, you can not
download a file of 40K into your mailbox. It remains on your ISP server. There
you can go check it safely. Then if it is alright, you can authorize the
download.  	
	
Rule #4: Most virus programs attack Outlook Express. I do not wish to promote
other software here by naming more safe programs. I will comment privately if
asked.	
	
Rule #5: Use a good virus scan program and keep it updated. At least weekly! If
you do a lot of Internet wandering, a daily update is not unreasonable. Most
virus detection software programs now let you specify a time and it will go on
line and update while you sleep, or whatever. Hence, you are always updated with
the most current .dat files. 	
	
Rule #6: Although common sense is the most rare form of human intelligence, try
using it! If you think before clicking that mouse, you can save yourself a world
of grief and operate quite safely.	
	
Again, you are safe here on the qth.net lists!

Pilot was one of the better makers of audio stuff in the 40's through the
60's. Some of their components are considered classics today, others not
quite. After you open the console, take note of the model numbers of the
individual components, and post them here for further comment.

The unit I picked up is in two nice cabinets.

The Main unit is a Model C-1706 with Garrard Changer, FA-540 Tuner(no tubes)
and it had at one time a SA-232 Amp.

Someone  had pulled the Amp two owners back.

Would like to know the ratings of the speakers.

The second cabinet is a Model S-170/171 Ensemble Series Spkr. Sys.

Will probably be putting the Tuner and Changer on that E**** place soon.

The cabinets are certainly well made.

Hi,
I use a Pilot mono amplifier and AM/FM tuner daily.
I don't know the model  numbers.

The Tuner is marked Pilotuner, and the amp has two 6L6's and has square 
potted transformers on a rectangular chassis.

The amp has been in daily use here for most of 10 years with one tube 
replacement.  The tuner got pressed into service just recently when 
lightening did in a KLH Model 18.

The SA-232 is a desirable piece, which is probably why someone pulled it
out. The rest of that stuff is (relatively) worthless.

They are worth over $100.  I passed one up at a fest last year.. now I wish 
I had it since mine is kaput somehow.  If you find a manual/schematic for 
it, let me know. I certainly will try to fix mine.

I just recently acquired a "Type A" 'table and the guy
up in Oregon (Portland Area) that shipped it, left the
tonearm unsecured, so needless to say that when it got
here (finally) - the needle was trashed from bouncing
around on the platter :(  The cart may be damaged too.

Other than that - it seems to be in fairly good shape,
although I can't get it to operate in 'manual mode'
(always retracts to shutoff at end of record).

Could someone advise on a good (although not expensive)
replacement needle/cartridge for this equipment ?
It doesn't need to be 'top shelf' at this time, but it
should track well and be capable of playing some older
LP's that I intend to transfer to tape/CD, w/o making
them any worse.

Thanks - Bruce

Hi Bruce -

I'm not familiar with that turntable, but if it takes a standard mount magnetic
cartridge, you can't go wrong with a Grado.  Their web site is www.gradolabs.com.
All of their stuff is excellent.  You'll find you can get the 'lower' end
cartridges inexpensively.   www.800stereo.com and other sites have Grado stuff at
great prices.

I have a Grado red in my TT (Technics 1600 MkII) and it's amazing.  Now I just
need a better table.

If memory serves, the SA-232 used 7591-A output tubes and produced about 30
watts RMS per channel. This is not very relevant in evaluating your
speakers, however. Examine the speaker drivers (the woofers ). Post whatever
information is written on them, hopefully make and model number. Are these
factory made "Pilot" speakers, or custom models?

I just got a Marantz cassette deck but that is not it.  It's the PMD-520 
dual professional one.

Since everybody is on the subject of Garrard turntables. I have this Garrard
Zero 100 sitting here and it sure looks like a pro type turn table. It is
very well constructed and the weight system is one that i have never send
before on a turntable. it has a slid weight on the arm that looks like the
style you would see on scales in a bucther shop weighscale. the main arm has
a rail running along side of it about one half inch away. looks abit like it
could be a brace maybe. Does anybody know anything about this jewel ? Rick

At one time, this was one of the best changers on the market. That time,
however, was long ago<G>. If I were setting up a rig to play LP's today, I
would not chose one of these.
Mechanically, these are a nightmare to repair, although the usual symptoms
are often the result of the lubricant turning to cement from age. The big
issue in getting one up and running is the idler wheel. These have not been
available for at least 20 years, and the only solution, if you need one, is
to send the original out to a rebuilding service. Should cost somewhere in
the neighborhood of $35 plus shipping. The original cartridges for these
were magnetic types with "standard" 1/2 inch mounting. Any modern magnetic
with the same mounting should work fine. Shure and Pickering made most of
the cartridges during the "changer era" and many are still around. Styli
should be no problem. Audio Technica makes some decent units also. Grado's
are fine also.

I looked at the Zero 100 but bought the SL-95B.  As I remember, they are
adjusted in similar fashion.

I'm dealing with about 30 year recall here so there may be some fuzziness in
the old visions.

Set the tracking force adjustment to zero (I think this is a dial on the
tone arm that sticks out from the side).

Set the anti-skate adjustment to zero also.  I think this is a small slide
weight on an arm that raises from the support point as the tone arm tracks
inward.

Once in this position set the tonearm in the middle of a record.  Loosen the
weight on the back of the arm, slide the weight on the back of the tone arm
back and forth to achieve balance with the needle just barely off the
record. Tighten the weight at this point.

Then set the tracking force using the dial as specified for the cartridge.
Then set the small sliding weight antiskate to the same number as the
tracking force.

The rod alongside the arm keeps the cartridge at 90 degrees to the record
groove as it tracks inward on the record.

If you don't know the tracking force for the cartridge, start at about 1.0
and play a record.  If it skips, increase by 1/2 grams until the cartridge
tracks (doesn't skip grooves).  Always keep the anti-skate number equal to
the tracking force.

That kind of does it I think????

Hi Gerry, That great. thankyou very much for the info. I find it very hard
to beleave how good of shape this unit is in, The stylist is like brandnew
and the whole turntable is like mint but it has no deck to mount it on. it
looks like someone took it off or it was used in a consul type cabnet. Rick

Thanks Chuck,

Yup..  Kinda figured it was a bit on the 'mature' side ;)
But then that's why we're here... Right ? <g>

Probably won't make much difference when I go to play an
album (original press of: Meet The Beatles) that I haven't
been able to listen to for almost a decade :)  And then
there's the Rascals, Rip Chords and Daytona's to boot.

My receiver is a little on that side as well (Marantz 2230),
but it's recent enough to be sand-state instead of toobes.
Not that THAT is necessarily a "good" thing :)

I have an old Eric amp here that still sounds choice when
fed (not the govt type) a decent signal, and it uses mini's
in the output stages - still not a REAL old design...

And the McIntosh rack (with the Jade Green 'blackout' panel)
and the B&O Beogram, is still on my wish list ;)
  (what can I say...  I'm a 70's kid ;)

The stuff that I really enjoy are the ones that use the
vintage bottles like 807's etc.  Luv that pulsing blue glow!
Trouble is I don't have anything that era in audio equip :(
Well... That's not actually accurate.  I have a modulator
for an E.F.Johnson 6N2 transmitter that uses those, but
nothing for Hi-Fi listening.

   -=-

Back to the Type-A...  The platter seems to spin fine, and
the linkage seems to be 'cement free', test will be when I
get a new cartridge and try spinnin' some tunes.  (ex-DJ ;)
I haven't figured out just how to remove the platter for
an inspection of the soft surfaces under, but maybe some-
one here can relate that info this direction.  It doesn't
seem to fasten on the way the other TT's I've owned in
the past (eg locking device in center).  The spindle
turns but doesn't seem to release anything... <puzzled look>

Thanks for your post,

Message-ID: <200205070158.g471w1N22139@hades.usol.com>

Rick, 		
	
I do not recall the specifications on the model 100. The AT-70 was a record
changer, not a turntable.  It was quite dependable, tracked well and seldom
skipped. The stylus I used was an eliptical diamond at about 1-1.5 grams. I
think the needle depth was 1 mil? The older 78 rpm recordings went to nearly 3
mil as I recall. Some sounded better running at 80 rpm like the pathe recordings
of the prior generation. Remember them? 	
	
I believe the model 100 had a better balanc eon the turntable itself and did
have tracking capability below 1 gram with minimum skip or skate. I do not
recall if it had a variable speed or not. Did it?
	
As to the optional enclosure. The reasoning behind this was that many home
stereo buffs of that era built the components into their own console. Real wood,
not the entertainment center particle board wonders sold nowadays. Hence, they
used their trusty jig saw to cut out the mounting board for the turntable, plans
were supplied, by the way, and either mounted the board in the console with the
turntable or changer exposed, or under a plastic or plexiglass cover. Some, like
myself, mounted the board in a wooden frame, buffed up the white birch with
steel wool, gave it several coats of Deft, buff some more, and sealed it with a
spray sealant. Had a wonderful gloss and deep look to the natural finish. You
could either set the entire assembly inside the home built console or set it on
top.	
	
My console, which I am still using today, had a hinged door on the right side.
This was a compartment about two inches larger than the changer on all sides. I
did not have a dust cover, so closing the wood top kept it nice and clean.   	
	
The left half also had a hinged door on the top. This compartment held the Voice
of Music tape deck. Sigh. What wonderful days. As a mere youth of twenty, this
system sounded heavenly. The amplifier was an EICO built by my cousin from a
kit. I think it had 15 watts per channel continuous RMS. No cabinet, just a
brushed aluminum or stainless steell front panel with plastic knobs. Anybody
know what the model was?	
	
The speakers? James B. Lansing 8 inch full range in front ported bass reflex
cabinets my father built with plans supplied.

Bruce, 	
	
A seventies kid? Pulsing blue glow? Hmm. that seventies music, some LSD and a
little color organ?  Ha Ha. 	
	
I am older than you, I did not say wiser. (grin) 	
	
I would strongly suggest you get a newer turntable, forget the changer. They
were not that dependable in their new state decades ago. Sometimes they worked
fine and other times, kerploop on the tone arm. Oops! Drilled the groove a few
mils deepr. I straighted more than one needle with a pair of tweezers! 	
	
The Sony/Marantz turntables of the early to middle seventies performed very well
and were quite dependable. I know, as I am still using mine from 1974. I have
replaced the drive belt once in twenty-eight years! Please note the operative
term, "using". Not stored. Not sitting. But using. Electronics, like cars, do
not store well, they need to be used.	
	
this era turntable will track down to .5 gram and will not grind out the grooves
of the old vinyl. Some companies used quality materials in their records, others
were el cheapo. Twenty plays and the grooves were gone. A decent record would
last at least forty. That is, without noticable tone and audio loss, including
pops, crackles, snaps and hissing. Like a bowl of Rice Crispies on steroids!   	
	
Bruce, I still have my first stereo album. Al Hirt's Honey In The Horn. The RCA
Nashville studio was without a doubt the best in the business in the sixties.
The studio musicians; Floy Cramer, Boots Randolph, Chet Atkins, Charlie McCoy
and on and on. This is why Elvis Presley, Johnny Tillotson and many many others
sounded so great. With that kind of back up group behind you, who could ask for
more? This studio managed to put some absolutely knock the walls down fidelity
on those albums. 	
	
The better pressed albums will track down to .75 gram without skipping or loss
of fidelity. The older changers, such as the AT-100 and back tended to grind
grooves even when tracking at 1 gram. Remember adding a penny, 3.11 grams, or a
quarter, 6.5 grams on the end of the tone arm? Groan.

Ed,

I can help you with the schematics (there are 2 large foldout
schematics). Too big to scan,
would have to reproduce   by photocopy and send regular mail.  I also 
have a  fine, almost
like new original AR-1500 manual.  It is a huge 250 page manual. I would
consider trading it for other manual(s) that I can use..

Haven't dug the woofer's out yet, but look in VG condition.

The mid range and High was sealed in deeper with wood screws.
I assume the speakers are "Pilot"

My next step is to take a good look at the speakers.  I can see why the
SA-232 disappeared.

Dug out the old info.

Both the SynchroLab changers (SL-95 & Zero 100) were used in Sylvania high
end consoles.  The SynchroLab units were not speed adjustable but were
indeed sold ala carte.  Their primary claim to fame was the SynchroLab
motor, which was dubbed among the best.

Thanyou for all of the info Duane. This will be very helpful. And yes it
does have a strobe light for setting the pitch. I will have to get this
puppy going to see how it plays. It should be interesting for sure. Rick

Hi Gerry, Thankyou for taking the time to do that for me. I will build a box
for it one day and hook it up to my SX1980 pioneer and see how it sounds. I
only have a small collection of albums so far 1600. But i`am getting there.

I assume you are looking for something like power handling?

My take on a speakers power handling rating is that I never
worry about it. If you asked me what the power handling of my
main pair of speakers is I couldn't tell you. What I do know
is that I'm sure they can take the better part of a Kw on an
impulse without damage. It is very rare to actually damage a
speaker provided the sound is still clean. I have actually
seen far more speakers damaged by running them with small
overloaded amplifiers!

Other ratings for the speakers will be harder to obtain. My
suggestion would be to try them out and let your ears rate them.
This is all that matters right? The numbers mean little the
music is the goal ;)

My bend on old speakers is that I never deal with them. Modern
manufacturing techniques and computer modeling have made good
speakers more available today then ever. The other issue is that
mechanical systems like a speaker age more then electronics and
you can't simply swap in a new spider into a woofer like a
resistor in an amplifier. Old speakers are neat in a vintage
sort of way but I prefer the sound of my classic electronics
on modern speakers. As always your mileage may vary ;)

Just keep the classic stuff out of the land fill!

OK, time for me to get involved.

I have LOTS of Sylvania service data from "way back then".  I'll look to
see if I can find the manual for the Zero 100.

Hi Al,

It's nice to hear from you again.  I can certainly use the schematic --
just let me know the cost for copying, postage, etc.  Or, I really would
like the manual.  I don't know what manuals you need, but give me an idea
and I'll see what I have to trade.  Or would you want to sell it outright?

Thanks for you help and 73,

Ed N3CMI

Ed,

I can help you with the schematics (there are 2 large foldout
schematics). Too big to scan,
would have to reproduce   by photocopy and send regular mail.  I also
have a  fine, almost
like new original AR-1500 manual.  It is a huge 250 page manual. I would
consider trading it for other manual(s) that I can use..

                                                             AL,   NI4Q

Subject: [Vintage-Audio] Speaking of Garrard Changers
Message-ID: <003e01c1f5ee$fce0d860$1469d63f@earthlink.net>

I would second Duane's advice regarding use of these old changers to play
your collection of LP's on. Basically speaking, all record "changers" tear
up records. Some, like the Garrard Zero-100, came at the end of the changer
era, but are still inferior designs. Basic problems include poor tracking,
high rumble, and poor reliability. The field changed drastically for the
better with the introduction of the mass produced belt driven units
introduced by the Swiss ( Thorens ) and the Japanese ( Sony, Pioneer,
Kenwood etc ) in the early '70s.
The only "changers" considered of any real use today are certain models
produced by Dual ( Germany ) such as the 1019 ( my favorite ) and the 1219
( later high end ). These are still sought after today, as a scan of the
eBay sight will indicate.
Given the fact that excellent belt driven, or Hall-Effect direct drive
turntables are available all over the place for peanuts today, it makes
little sense to commit one's valuable LP collection to anything else. Check
yard sales, or the local landfill re-cycling center. For the cost of a
little clean-up, a new belt, and a cartridge up-grade, you can keep those
old Beatles LP's in great shape. Your grand children   ( or someone else's )
will thank you.
For the folks ( myself among them ) who have an interest in 78 RPM records,
an old changer is often the only way to go, as modern belt driven units will
not handle that speed. For years, I used an old PE ( German ) changer, but
have recently switched to a Dual 1209. I use a pickering cartridge with a
3.0 mil stylus. These styli are still being manufactured, as well as styli
to fit many older Shure cartridges. Available from Antique Electronic
Supply, Tempe AZ.
If anyone has the urge to restore some old "record wrecker" like a Garrard
Type "A", or it's descendent, the Lab 80, use them for your 78 collection,
and don't play LPs on them. By the way, the Garrard "SL" series were all
junk. Don't waste your time on there. Ditto with anything made by BSR.

Message-ID: <200205110356.g4B3uiN22085@hades.usol.com>

	
Hi All, 		
	
This is in regard to a Teach model A-5500 I recently purchased. What follows is
from the tech working on it. 
	
Today I received the two manual copies for the Teac.  One slight problem 
though.  The manual indicates the unit has two DC motors and drive belts 
for the take-up and supply reels.  All adjustments and drawings are for 
those motors.

However.  This unit has AC operated reel motors whose shafts connect 
directly to the reels, same design as earlier Teacs.  Only belts are for 
the tape counter.  This is apparently why I found the quantity/size of 
belts indicated in my belt catalog were incorrect.  The circuitry and 
mechanics of this machine is totally different from the service manual.

Teac often does this...major changes without changing the
model numbers. The version with the belt connected reel
motors was designed by Fostex engineers and is the version
my guy said really sucked. You must have another version and
it must be better. I will see him tomorrow and see if he can
lend any info on just what you may have.

Roy, 	
	
I was able to locate both stylus and cartridge at a major audio shop in the Ann
Arbor, MI area. I would suggest that you make a few phone calls to some regional
major shops of long standing, not the chain discount ones, and inquire. I
encountered little difficulty in locating them.

Duane,

Thanks for the suggestion.  I hope I don't have to pay market price for a 
new cartridge..  I sort of gave one away some time ago on a changer a 
fellow got from me.

I haven't finished writing up my (imminently successful!) AR-91 hi-fi
speaker re-coning, but I photographed the second speaker's labors, and
have placed them on my website at:

the Direction sheet, but it takes me over 30 seconds for either of them
to load on my DSL line... so I should redo them. They are there... but
it takes a while. The photos are all properly compressed, and neither
the thumbnails or the 800 x 600 photos should take all that long. Please
feel free to ask any questions this generates. Both speakers work great!

Anyone know the value of a NOS ADC XLM MK II cartridge?  I latched onto one
that is NIB.  I will sell it for a fair price after I get some idea what
it's worth.

Rudy,
     If your cartridge has the stylus, then probably be worth $400 or so
 since the replacement stylus sells for around  $200! See stylus here -

Basically worthless. 70s vintage cart of medium quality. Although these
would track down to something like 1/2 gram, most turntables will not track
this low. Sound left something to be desired also.  Any cart today in the
$50 range would surpass it. Also, no available styli. Sorry. Put it up on

out there i`am sure you would want this piece. It has the philips crest on
the holder too. as well as the slide on protector sleeve for the stylus. If

Message-ID: <200205192303.g4JN36N06143@hades.usol.com>

	
Hi All, 	
	
Have any of you had experience using the higher end Teac models such as the
A-5500 (retrofit model with 3300 transport) or others? I am interested in
knowing the high frequency roll off running at 3.75 ips. 	
	
I do not think that the Revox B77 has Dolby. The Teach A-5500 does. I would
compare with no Dolby. 	
	
I have read the specifications on the Revox B77, but none are available for the
Teach A-5500 retrofit. Supposedly it uses the tape transport from the model 3300
modified to fit in the case. What are the specifications for the 3.75 and 7.5
ips speeds on the higher end Teac models using the 3300 transport or similar
transport systems? 	
	
At one time Teach made an outboard Dolby unit that would work with the Revox.
Are they still available? If so, do you know the model number and price?  	
	
Thank you.

I'd say for a functioning unit the range is from $75
to $150 but to be at the high end it would have to look
NEW. This is a very common amplifier and they are still
quite available. I bought my last project SCA-35 for
$60 which was about an 8 out of 10 cosmetically. It
cleaned up nicely though and is a great performer.

As for mods upping the value that is obviously up to
the buyer. I prefer to buy all my old tube stuff mod
free so I can do the modifications I prefer and not
have to fix others "good ideas" first.

E.H. Scott was located in Chicago, and got into the radio business in the
1920s. They were one of the "Rolls Royce" quality makers, and their products
are highly sought-after collectors items today. They made some sets for the
gov-mint during WW II, and continued to manufacture right up through the FM
era, although they went out of business before FM Stereo began in 1959.
Herman Hosmer ( H.H. ) Scott began the manufacture of quality audio
components shortly after WW II. One of his first patents was for a noise
reduction scheme, in an attempt to reduce surface pops of the than-current
78 RPM format. His company eventually became one of the major makers of high
quality ( mostly ) audio components during the "Golden Age" of audio. The
two were not related.

Hi Chuck,

What else do you have? In amplifiers and other audio gear.

Also, do you have any broadcast equipment lying around?

Looking for the balance pot for a SA-7100 stereo
amplifier. Does anyone know where this might be
available?

Thanks,

I called Electrolux dealer yesterday and asked about the power cord.  $27 was
his response.  It's only $6 or so on the web site.  now the question is if
they will sell to me or not.  Interesting chase here.  Only found one place in
the area that said they had them.  Every other dealer says to call the first
one mentioned.  I think $27 is a bit on the high side for a power cord.  Other
alternatives will be forthcoming at this rate.

Whatever audio gear that I have for sale, I usually put up on e-Bay. No
broadcast gear at the moment. Anything in particular that you are looking
for?

Check out the Radio Shack catalogue. I saw what appeared to be the type
of power cords you are looking for in mine.
On page 431 in my 2002 catalogue. Items 7, 8, and 9.

Duane- The LT-72 is essentially a 222-C. The LT-110 is essentially a 350-B.
The "LT" designations are for the kits. Early kits had brown front panels.
Later ones had the gold panels of the standard production units.

Chuck, 	
	
Are they high enough quality to be worth my time shipping them from TX to MI? I
was offered them n/c. They are complete, just dusty. However, I would want them
completely gone through before using them. Considering the cost of shipping to
MI, to you, back to me, and your charges, worthwhile or a waste of money?	
	
thanks for your candor Chuck.

Duane,

Be careful.  The LT-72 amplifier may use 7193 tubes. I may have the number 
wrong.  These are VERY expensive to replace.  In addition, the filter caps 
are 500 or 550 volt units and are short. Very expensive to replace.

I have manuals on these and will copy them for you if you need them.

Duane--I got it wrong-sorry. The LK-48 is the equiv of the 222-C. The LK-72
is the equiv. of the 299-D, one of Scotts best of that era. Puts out about
30 / 30 watts RMS. They never made an integrated amp with more steam.
Having said that, however, there are some major pitfalls that you need to
become aware of if you intend to go down that road.
In general, all of the integrated amps that Scott made during the "stereo
era" can be basically divided into two categories, based on the output tubes
used. ALL of the 222 series used 7189 / 6BQ5 / EL-84 output tubes. The early
299 series used these also, but the last ( and best ) used the 7591-A. This
( rather short-lived ) tube has no equivalent in the tube register, and has
not been made in the USA since the early 1970s. One can occasionally find
NOS examples, but they tend to be pricey, at least $50 each, and for the
LK-72, one must have matched pairs       ( almost non-existent ). The
Russians have recently begun the re-manufacture of this type, but the major
failing here is their use of a much larger bottle than the originals. I
haven't had occasion to use any of these yet, and I can't speak as to their
quality. I suspect, however, that they will not physically fit in a LK-72,
due to the close spacing on the sockets. I haven't actually tried, however,
so I could be wrong here. There are some options, but they are all costly.
One is to remove the octal sockets, replace them with 10 pin "Compactron"
sockets, and use the type 7868 tube, which is electrically identical.
Another ( my favorite) is to rewire the sockets, and use type 5881 tubes.
These are a compact, rugged, mil-spec version of a 6L6. They will (barely)
fit into the space, and are a longer lasting tube than the 7591-A.
Other considerations include ( as one other poster mentioned ) the main
power supply electrolytics, which are mulii-section, and not at all "off the
shelf" units. If these are bad, the only option is to rebuild the originals
with new innards, which is both time consuming and costly.
As a hobby project, this is worth doing. If you have to shell out $$$
however, think carefully.

The 7591 is not a 6L6GT. They are much smaller. 6L6GT's will not fit 
physically, I think. I can check that on my unit.

I got the folders at lunch time.. I may have time to copy them today, 
otherwise it may be Friday.

Roy, 	
	
I based that on the (6L6gt) following the 7591 designation in the information I
was e-mailed.	
	
I am told that getting two matched pairs of 7591 is very unlikely, very
expensive if located. Any thoughts?	
	
How about the multi-section electrolytics? Any sources you know of?	
	
Thanks.

Check out http://www.hhscott.com/integrated_amps_stereo.htm for info
on the lt-72 and http://www.hhscott.com/tuners1.htm for the lt-100.

They both appear to be kits.

The AES price for those tubes is $65 new and $45 used.  That is $230 for a 
set of four. Matching is more likely with new tubes.  The amplifier does 
have DC balance controls for each channel.  Matching may not be 
necessary.  You may be able to make money if any of the tubes in your free 
amplifier is any good.  Then modify the thing to use 5881's like the Chuck 
suggested.

I have one of these amplifiers. Only one of the four tubes is much 
good.  The case leaves absolutely no extra space above the tubes, so the 
5881 is likely the only tube that will fit other than the 7868 compactron 
that Chuck mentioned.  The AES price of the 7868 is now $42.

Another problem is the rectifier: it is a GZ-34/5AR4. These are very 
expensive also and not common.  No other tube will fit in the space and do 
the job. None.  I do NOT recommend you use a cheaper new production tube 
from places with bad reputations for tubes.  Using solid state rectifiers 
will raise the B+ even more.  The manual mentions the slow-turn-on 
characteristic of the 5AR4 rectifier.  Current AES prices are: Chinese, 
$11; Japanese, $32; New Old Stock U.S., $61; Same, used $32.

>How about the multi-section electrolytics? Any sources you know of?

The capacitors are rated at 500 volts.  Measured B+ in my unit was 505 
volts on the output tube plates.  I have no idea where to find replacement 
can capacitors.  AES does sell a single section 20 microfarad 500 volt can 
cap for $19 but I have no idea if it is short enough to fit in the 
case.  The amplifier uses two can caps each with two sections of 30 
microfarad at 500 volts. There are also two cans with 20 microfarad at 450 
volts sections.  There is essentially no room on the chassis to put extra 
can capacitors.  The room underneath the chassis is very limited because it 
is very shallow.  Modern tubular electrolytic caps might fit but I have not 
tried to do this.

At least one of the caps in my amplifier started shorting out after I got 
the thing running, so I have never used the thing.  I could rebuild the can 
capacitors but I have had other things to do.

In my amplifier all four output tubes ran red hot in the plates until I 
replaced the selenium bias rectifier bridge.  The bias level must repeat 
must be checked before applying plate voltage to these amplifiers or damage 
can result.  The final tubes run with fixed bias not self bias and will 
certainly destroy themselves unless the bias supply is working right.

More about capacitors: The coupling capacitors to the output tube grids and 
in other places are point one microfarad. These must be checked for leakage 
or the final tubes will overheat.  The filaments of the preamp tubes are 
run on direct current filtered by four 75 microfarad at 75 volt capacitors. 
Even if these can caps are bad, small replacement tubular caps should be 
easy to find for mounting below the chassis.

I belive that this amplifier should never be run without a fan. It get so 
hot normally you cannot pick it up. It literally destroys itself with the 
heat generated.  It is too bad this amplifier has so many challenges to 
getting it running reliably. It likely sounds very very nice.  The power 
output of 30 watts per channel is more than most any one needs.  Changing 
the output tubes to 5881's seems like a very good idea.  New 5881's can be 
gotten with good quality.  They are likely short enough to fit inside the 
case. Running them at much lower power will produce a very fine sounding 
amplifier and the thing will last a lot longer.

The good news in the deal you have is that the tuner is nice and works well 
and has no real difficult parts.  The tuning indicator is a normal moving 
pointer meter, not a hard to find eye tube.

My advice is this:
1) get the amplifier and tuner  Do not let anyone who does not thoroughly 
know what he/she is doing even plug it in.
2) sell the final tubes and the rectifier on Ebay for whatever you can get 
for them, no matter how bad they may test in a tube tester.  Be very 
careful to find out if any tube in either the amplifier or tuner says 
"Bugle Boy" on it. DO NOT RUB OR EVEN TOUCH THE MARKING.  Sell these tubes 
also on Ebay. You will be amazed at what they sell for.
3) change the amplifier to use 5881 tubes running a lower power
4) replace all capacitors that need it.
5) use solid state rectifiers
6) rig up a fan to keep it all cool
7) use a line bucking transformer to keep it even cooler and reduce the 
plate voltage to reasonable levels.

Darn.  All this has got me inspired to do all that for my Scott amp and 
tuner.. I wonder where they are buried!

Your Classic SCA-35

If you are lucky enough to have one that is a strong 8 or more, then you may
want to keep it.

The audio geeks and audio test labs dudes... have always used them, as a
reference unit. Even when they were under a house for years. Dirty, dusty with
weak tubes, bad caps, poor solder joints with ugly pots and switch's. Most of
the time they still sound great. They do not have much power, so use some
efficient KLH speakers or better yet some Electro Voice's or maybe K horns. The
audio fidelity is excellent..

One of the biggest problems is the cosmetics. The gold panel and silk screen
become damaged or show signs of use.. To most people looks are everything and I
understand that. I have purchases a few for $ 25 to $ 50. But a nice clean, good
working unit is about $ 100 to $ 175. It all depends on the buyer  the seller,
the market and unit.

Now that I have said all that....

Any of us, that have ever built, designed, repaired, modified or engineered
audio amps. Understand for the most part, the designs, outside of a few minor
modifications. Have never changed over the last 30, 40, 50 or even 70 years or
more. It had taken me a longer time then it should, to fully understand. The
most important part of the amp it the transformers.. The transformers are
everything... It's nice to have excellent cap and resistors,  smooth pots,
expensive tubes... Bla, Bla Bla. But when all is finished. The transformers are
everything. That is why you can bench test 15 units from the United States,
Japan or Europe. All with similar designs and components from Lafayette, Olson,
Heath, Dyna, Eico, Scott, Fisher, Leak, Quad and the list go on and on. It you
do no have good iron, you will never have decent sound no matter what components
you use.

That was the key factor with the SCA-35, the ST-70 and the Black mono blocks.
They just had great iron.

The SCA-35 is a Excellent unit. I'm sure you have something else you can sell,
that you will never know it is missing.
I nice 35 is hard to find..

Well that my 2 ¢ worth.

Hi Group,

I know this isn't exactly in the era of "Vintage",
as it's solid state :( and not tubes, but I figured
there would be those here that appreciate the Marantz
product line - just the same, and have some knowledge
about the various configurations from the 70's.

I have a working (very well actually) 2230 Receiver
and I'd like to build up a complete 'rack' using that
and it's matching components.  I believe the matching
Cassette Deck for that rcvr is the "Model 5200", but
I'm not sure - if incorrect, someone please correct.
I picked up a Model 5000 Cassette Deck, but the panel
is just slightly narrower than the receiver, so in MY
book - that doesn't match! :(

I know there probably won't be a CD Player for this set
as I don't think they existed for comsumer use in 70's :)
If someone has found a CD unit that has the same dimensions,
panel finish, and accent color as the Marantz components,
I'd like to know about it.

I'd like to pick up a matching power and pre-amp,
if there were indeed matching components for those.

Also interested in learning about any other components
that were mfgr'd to be used with this 'set'...

Actually I'd like to have either a B&O or a Jade Green
McIntosh rack, but the going prices I've seen for those
on that bay place, have convinced me that I may not be
able to afford those before I end up leaving this reality.
So I figured the Marantz was a good compromise, and I do
recall seeing the Marantz Racks sitting in the same room
as the Mc's and Bangs when I was spending my time in the
Stereo Shops in the early 70's :)

Btw, I've been to the Marantz Museum web site, but didn't
find much in the way of a coalescent outline of what a
complete system would consist of.

Thanks,

Yes... They did.

Sony did manufactured Marantz,  at one time under the Sony / Superscope line
from Semi Valley and made in Japan.. The were very nice units. Looked just like
the classic Marantz. But... They had a " Gold -- Sony finish on the front panel
and knobs".  They did not have a Deeper Gold Marantz finish, like the units
from Sun Valley. It was just a little on the shiny  looking ( gold / silver )
and the metal case had a wooden finish pattern, that was a little faded
looking.

I realize the chances of finding the feet for my footless Teac A-5500 are not
very promising. However, maybe I could make a set if one of you would be good
enough to send me some dimensions and/or a .jpg of them.	
	
Any help will be appreciated. 

This deck is in excellent condition. Since it has been fully gone through and
properly adjusted, it is an incredible performer. Might give the Revox reason to
worry!	
	
But it does take up a lot of space in the horizontal position. Having it
vertical would make life in the stereo console operational area much easier. 	
	
Thanks!

Duane. You can find feet for your recorder off of microwaves. There are tons
of them being throwen out everyday and some of those puppies are heavey. You
can find all kinds of different feet on them , so i`am sure you will find
the ones that look like a match pretty easy. Good hunting. Rick VE7RiK

I do not think so Rick. These are a special design that protrude nearly an inch
beyond the unit, never seen a microwave with feet like that. These are designed
to counterbalance the top heavy weight of the three motors.

Duane. You can find feet for your recorder off of microwaves. There are tons
of them being throwen out everyday and some of those puppies are heavey. You
can find all kinds of different feet on them , so i`am sure you will find
the ones that look like a match pretty easy. Good hunting. Rick VE7RiK

Ah. I see what you mean. I never thought that they would stick out from the
sides like that. You can`t make some nice stainless steel plates and put
your feet on the ends? Anyway just an idea, Good luck with your hunt Duane.
Rick
