OK thank you. please forget about Js & Ks for now as M5129L looks maybe to be the problem, tho I dont really know for sure. The problem is when i play vinyl my left channel is very low and somewhat distorted. How can i test this device in situ? There is one for each channel(L-R). If it has to come out then is it possible to drop another(better?) in its place? The fet is dual in line package but the pcb has provision for both inline and 8 pin dip.
Thank You. Brian.
Thank You. Brian.
according to service manual ( vinylengine site) , M52129L is operational amplifier , not JFet
if you doubt that one is malfunctioning , swap positions between channels ; if problem stays in same channel - OP is OK < culprit is elsewhere
if problem moves with suspicious OP , there is culprit
however , I would check all switches in signal route prior to any soldering

I saw first half last night. A worthy follow up (and not a remake as I wrongly said). They have actually managed to capture the original feeling very well. Looking forward to the other half tonight.
Oh no! The end of turntables with synchronous motors!
Oh well. You just have to start is 6 minutes before listening time
