Hi everyone! glad to be here! I'm Dan. I've worked with electronics both as a hobbyist and professionally for about 25 years. I used to work in TV repair shops back when they were still around. I have no formal education in electronics, but have had a lot of help from elders and kind people along the way, as well as lots of self study and practical experience. That being said, i'm not perfect and sometimes need a push in the right direction (you can't know everything!) I'm very open to learning, and helping others if I can. I really enjoy helping others! I hope I can contribute and be helpful here, as well as learn and have some laughs. How's everyone doing today? what are you working on?
Greetings everyone! I am in South Surrey BC, just across the street from the ocean, and about 10 minutes to Washington State. Can't wait to get posting here!
Greetings from Cow Town! Welcome to diyAudio.
I started dabbling in radio/TV repair when I was in my early teens. My current projects include a Hitachi SR-5200 that belongs to a hockey buddy of mine. It needs a couple of new capacitors, has a scratchy Tape 2 switch, and it seems like the balance is off when it plays FM radio.
I also just picked up a Sony ST-S555ES tuner. Its "brains" seems to work but it can't find any stations. Sounds like a good reason to fish out my Marconi RF signal generator out and see if I can bring it back to life. It's supposed to be an excellent tuner and for the $30 CAD I paid for it I figured it was worth a shot.
