This is a pair of Harman Kardon 2320V Amplified Multimedia / Computer Speakers that needed a little repair. The volume and tone controls had gotten very noisy. They were more difficult to disassemble, than the actual repair :-) A little shot of DeOxit, and all was well. The video covers the disassembly of the enclosure. Here's a vid and a few pics...
This is an NVIDIA FX-5200 graphics video card I've had a while, great video card! I noticed, after it ran a while, especially when streaming videos and such, it would lock up. I took it apart and found the cooling fan to be seized. A little cleaning, lubrication, and refreshing the heatsink compound, and it was good as new. Here's a few pics and videos...
This is a cool home brew bench supply I got from a friend. It was built 50ish years ago, and was pretty cool in its time. Regulation and output current is in bad condition, but I think it has potential, especially since it was built by my friend. This is the 1st part of the restoration.
This is a beautiful Sansui 4000 I got from a friend. It was built in 1969, sports a Walnut cabinet, and pumps out a very conservative 65 watts per channel into 4 ohms. It is labeled as the Solid State 4000, considering that there were still many high end sets of that era with vacuum tubes.
This one is very clean and works well. I've cleaned and serviced the controls and switches, and will be recapping this later. Here's a few pics and video...
This is a Heathkit HR-10 I got from a friend. It was his original receiver, and was paired with a Heathkit DX-40. I have a DX-40 (see it in my blog listing on the rh side of this page), so this it the perfect lashup for my novice nostalgia station :-) .
This was in pretty good shape. I buffed out the original paint on the cabinet, replaced a few caps and resistors, serviced the switches and controls, tested the tubes and cleaned their pins and sockets, replaced a lamp, and gave it an alignment. Wow, its a pretty good receiver for it's era. Here's a few setup videos and pics...
