Hey there, great job on the resto! I recently inherited an old ‘60s(?) era space heater from my neighbor who passed. It turns on and the coils glow, but the fan rotates slowly and then everything cuts out after a few seconds. I blew compressed air inside and brushed off dust, etc. but haven’t done a deep clean like you did. Connections appear to be solid and the fan doesn’t seem to be gunked up and it spins freely… would you know what’s going on?

Those "dome top" transistors are noted for causing problems.

Do you still repair vintage equipment

Randomly here after seeing a non working zenith tv on fb marketplace. Man, these videos of you tuning in these televisions is so creepy 😅 summoning trapped ghosts & demons of the past

Far out man ! I've heard this and marrantz were the best quad .

Lol, bulbs have nothing to do with the speakers popping at shut off. If the 2020 pops, then the transistors in the protection circuit need to be replaced (they're leaking).

Hey Jordan, just tried your fix for the first time and it worked great.....cheers!

Thanks!

Hi Jordan, how can I get a hold of you by email. It's me Vince F.

It would be great to know what the eq amp switch really meant, by explaining what a phono pre amp or auxiliary is. I have know idea what that is.

You pronounce Shure very weirdly! It's the same as the word sure.

remEnants? Do you mean remnants?

you are the best thanks

Any tips on the tonearm or lift not fully going down? It does play the record but it skips but if I did the penny trick it works..

Really appreciate this video. I was restoring one of these and the part of the video showing the parts on the bottom of this record changer. That pertained to proper operation of the tone arm helped me fix an issue in which the tone arm would stick in an area on the record and not advance. Straight forward no nonsense instruction on here. Thank you.

I found one of these but the back has gray plastic and the blade is translucent gray and the label is on the left side.

Good to see it run again. I have done much with those BBD-s to get them to run most economically. I found the best metering rod is a #75-2226 (.0675X.0635X.57") with a .089 jet # 120-389. These can be found in carburetors that have that "Lean Burn" junk attached to the engine. Just curious to know why you didn't overhaul the old one? They are about as simple as you can get.

Hi Jordan. This video was extremely helpful getting my collaro working! I have the same exact model. Do you have any advice on adjustments to improve tracking / reduce skipping? Thank you!

Hey Jordan, Thanks for the Video I have an A-2300SD so many of the parts and construction is common so your sequence and talk through was very useful. My Pinch Roller went stiff also changed Capstan belt and counter belt. I notice you didn't mention Counter belt? My belts came as a pair, probably good to replace both at the same time. I am in the UK, i noted that you bought your belt from Teac in the States. That would be very useful to know to ascertain whether they would deal with me in the UK. Do you have an email contact? But thanks for Vid, well explained and Commentated with all your hints and tips. So thanks once more. My Vietnam Veteran still purs like a Kitten. These machines are so solidly built i swear they would survive a grenade attack! For me you cannot beat these brilliant machines for pure analog sound. They look so awesome playing in a nicely dimmed room moving and producing awesome sound! Also useful to know could you tell me the spec of the lub oil you use and the switch cleaner. Also, i have always used Methalated Spirit to clean heads and other parts. I find it a good cleaner and evaporates very quickly. Is alcohol better? Regards to you from Andy, Bristol.UK.

Question on the cord you are using, is it a 14 gauge? I have a couple of 1650 W heaters and I’m planning to upgrade them from 16 gauge to 14 gauge wiring. Also good information on the crimp connections.

Those old heaters are great! I have a few that I use as well. I have a couple of others that I need to replace the cables on.

I love this radio

Mine was working. Bought a new needle, came home, not working. No power, no start.

I just purchased the 500 version of this Reciever for a stereo console project I'm doing. I get it this upcoming week and I'll get to play with it. Now I know you've done repairs on these in case I need assistance or won't work correctly. Do you have a website or way to contact you if I need repairs?

Your lamps aren't out. What happens is the incandescent lamps turn the white diffuser plastic behind the blue display yellow. The blue display plastic cancels the yellow light making dim spots. You can whiten the plastic by putting it in a bath of sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, exposing the yellow side to direct sunlight. It's a lot of working getting it out of the chassis though. I replaced my bulbs with LEDs that don't darken the plastic.

Wonderful thank you 😊

Excellent to watch. I have a few very simple non working radio about. Now, where’s my soldering iron?

I don't know what the difference is between the RA-01 and the Ra-920 or 930s I've serviced but it looks exactly the same internally. Probably the easiest amps I've worked on. They are laid out so well. Also they sounded fantastic for their price.

Hey Jordan, will we see up on your channel with any new videos? We miss you!

Thanks for this video! Relairing an mr-2 with the same issue.. but im on the motor with the tabs pulled out, but i cant seem to pull the motor apart? Is it supposed to require a lot of strength or is it kind of smooth to pop out? Thanks!
