Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -

Probably the electrolytics have shot, normally noticable residue can be seen on the board - I bought an old NAD 3020 about 5 years ago and replaced the electrolytics, putting life back into it - and gorgeous it is too.Originally posted by gingerjedi View PostI have a Technics amp that’s about 15 years old but in good condition apart from one fault, the volume momentarily drops and sounds a little muffled every 30-60 seconds then returns to normal?
Any experts have an idea what’s going on? It would be a shame to chuck it out if it's just a simple fix.

I remembered my ex Bro-in-law used to mend his (he had loads as he ran a string on mobile discos - he told me that the little lens thingy often sticks - so I did a quick Google and voila!Originally posted by VectraMan View Post....
Is it worth fixing CD players? My Pioneer one that I bought with the amp has started skipping and refusing to play lots of CDs. I've been playing CDs in my DVD player as a backup.
I figure I could probably get a Tesco Value replacement for £5 in this day and age.

Most likeley thing to fail is anything that moves, volume control, switches, speakers etc. see if the fault changes when you operate them.
Caps could be the issue but moving parts fail most often.Comment

Agree with 1st commenter, a capacitor, specifically a large electrolytic. They age.bloggoth

I disconnected the lower frequency turned it on a set the volume to near max, I heard the fan kick in and go into overdrive.
