fix a nice reciver by my own

carmel dukas · 15th September 2006, 03:58 PM

i found a nice reciver in some old garage that i decided to fix by my own. the last time i wanted to fix a reciver i had to pay likw 80 euro for this.
it seems to e that this reciver i have found have the same problem that the other one i had to pay for had.
so, this time i say no to capitalism i want to fix it by my own.
and this is the problem according to what i hear and know:
the reciver is goldstar gsa 6500 .
when i turn it on it make a self exam which shows that everything is ok.
then the sound sounds ****!
like a very bad record of a hip hop band when it all distortion and sounds like someone farts in your speaker (i can make a good example with my mouth for how it sounds like).
according to the last time i fixed reciver the techniq man said that the problem was with the amp it self that got real old and dry and e had to switch some parts and so... and for that he took 80 euro.
no way!!!
i dont payso much once again - if anyone know maybe some direct to how to do it by my own - bitte, i havesome knowledge about electricity and i fixed before some electricity stuff by my own and through help from forums.
lets do it

Hi Carmel,
Have you taken an electronics course?
What test equipment do you have?
How much electronics experience do you have?

Most professional technicians have a great deal of money invested in equipment and education. They have to support a business like any other. Proper amplifier service is not nearly as easy as it looks.

It seems to me that you are simply upset with the cost of repairs and somehow consider it to be an easy task. In other words you believe you are being overcharged because of the things you don't see.

Answer the questions above. A digital multimeter is a basic item you will need. An oscilloscope and audio generator are the next most basic needs. A good soldering station and proper hand tools rounds out the list. This is just to get you going. You may be able to do without the 'scope and generator, but I would say you may be wasting your time possibly without them.
