Hi everyone, I have a Rega Mira made in 2000 that I bought second hand a couple of years ago. It had some damage to the plastic parts of the casing, but worked ok. Recently the phono / rca sockets started falling apart. I need to replace them, and feel fairly confident to do it myself, but cannot find them anywhere. I have a vague feeling they might be Audiolab 1371X sockets, but they might not be, and I can't find those either!!!
Does anyone know anything about this?
Also, I accidentally moved one of the variable resistor pots on the circuit board (idle fingers...) and have no idea what I adjusted. There are two on there, different types, and I moved the one nearest the front of the board.
Please help, I'm on a limited budget so can't afford to send this off for repair (new baby!).
Thanks a lot!
JIM.

Can you post a pic of the sockets? I have some spare from a Mira clamshell repair, but they may not be the same.
As for the pots, I've attached the Mira 2000 main board circuit - there are only two: L and R channel bias.
You may need to re-set the idling current: see this post for help:

Cheers!

Thanks for your help. I discovered that the pot I was referring to is actually the remote controlled master volume pot, it moves electrically when the front knob is turned.
Photo of the back of the sockets attached. Showing the rear of them. The ones on the left are undamaged, the ones on the right you can see the plastic has broken away. I have pushed up the newly exposed metal bits to hold them in place.
Yesterday I managed to glue some of the broken bits of plastic back on using "chemical metal" and it all seems to be working, (for now).

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
