JVC Amplifier AX-R97

[Rossmoyne]

Not sure if I'm on the right forum page, so please be patient. My old (20yr) JVC Amp finally went belly up a couple of weeks ago. The repair shop looked at it and said that a couple of diodes were shot. Unfortunetly, they were so shot, that the part numbers were mostly gone / unreadable. They did find this: D853 and D808 on the diodes, it's the remaining numbers that they need.

They tried to contact JVC with no luck. This is an oldy but a goodie stereo, everything else works fine, I'd hate to have to part with it because I can't ID a couple of $5 parts.

Anyone know where I can get a schematic for this thing? Or a complete amp that works?

Thanks!

I have one. 19 yrs old and haven't used it for 6 years until 2 weeks ago. It still works perfectly, I started researching it online because I need it to play BOTH speaker sets "A" and "B" together at the same time... and I now know it does not. Anyway... I just got an Onkyo TX-8555 and don't need the JVC anylonger. If you still need the info let me know or if you're local to me in NY we can work out something.

this all is gimex i presume ....for an average technician there is no unobtainable diode probably the tech didnt want to bother with your amp ....

posting a a picture of the specifi diodes on the circuit will probably provide one million solutions

remains a fact though that your amp has other more serious fault but a couple of diodes was just an excuse ....

post though ....something will come up
