Just a quick FYI... 'corrosion' refers to non-ferrous metals like copper, brass or aluminium. Anything affecting steel or iron parts is called 'rust'. Extremely common internet problem. For anyone interested, the metal chassis parts are powder coated, which is much tougher than anything you can get out of a spray can. Always nice to see these little gems being restored. 👍
@@thethirdman225 ah, fair enough. I always just referred to all metal types as corrosion, when it’s that type of wear. Agree, powder coating is much tougher than spray paint. Normally reflected in cost between each process. Thank you very much for the kind comments, it is appreciated.
@@thethirdman225 I’m not too sure to be honest. Most automotive finishes that replicate a texture, are a single pack product. The aerosols I use for texture, are what is mainly used for texture plastic repairs. But they are pretty robust to be fair. There are things like gravitex, but that’s a lot heavier in finish.
Great video. Reminds me of my recap process on my silver 3020. Learnt how to solder on RUclips and replace capacitors. The amp is still in daily use and still sounds great. I did swap out the red LED's for a green to red set (two green, two amber, 1 red).
@@abelabner yeah, it’s true. I’ve replaced some on my Sega consoles and they had caused damage to the boards from leaking. Don’t want that to happen again.
@@kellywillems6126 obviously it depends what fixes it. I would personally clean it first with de-oxit, which will hopefully sort it. If you are doing it yourself, it would just be the cost of the deoxit. But obviously only doing this, if you are able to do it safely.
Great video. Now I want to recap my 7225PE. Can you tell me where you got your capacitors from, and do you have a full list of the capacitors you replaced? Thanks Mark
Thank you, That's appreciated. I purchased them from a guy I regularly us on Ebay, I can send you the link. Is yours the same model type, As they can vary with capacitor values. I can certainly help with what I purchased though. 👍
Great video. Im just wandering if you can recommened a certain set of RCA leads. The only ones that fit well are some cheapo ones. They seem bigger than most connections.
@CM-dw3gh Thank you for the kind comment, It is really appreciated. I always use Van Damme cables and connections. I then make them up to what I require. There are a number of suppliers, That do make them all up pre-made. They are a good quality cable and competitively priced. 👍
@@retfurb yes VD are pretty decent. Are you based in buckingham/northamptonshire? I could do with a recap of my 3020. There was someone on ebay offering this service but if i can travel to drop off id rather do this than post it. Cheers
@@retfurb no worries. Tbh its in pretty good nick. Slight scratch on the volume knob. Faint hum from the speakers (heard only close up), and a possible DC leak to the speakers when powering up. The woofers can move half an inch. But i use a headphone adapter to power up and down to prevent this happening. Obviously not a cure but im sure its not causing any ill health to my speakers?
Funy enough, I have one with me at the moment that does similar. It thuds as soon as the power button is turned on. Not the delayed power up hum, But an immediate power up thud. I haven't taken a good look at it yet, But it could well be a capacitor failed. The thing is they need to be removed individually and checked. So it will probably just mean a complete replacement whilst doing that.@@CM-dw3gh

Yeah, They do sound nice. I also agree, They were not built with the best components. I have sorted a few out now. But then I suppose this is whay they were cheaper when new.

Absolutely brilliant,a well shot video and a great comprehensive walk through the whole process of bringing this old classic back to life😁
Thank you. I appreciated the kind comments and feedback on the video. Glad you liked it 😎
I remember the sound that I used to listen when I was in college ❤
Definitely a nice sound produced.

Sounds great, nice to her it is still going strong 💪🏻
Agree, also electrolytic caps as you know have a finite lifespan inherent in their design.

How much should it cost to fix the balance pot ? Mine cuts out one side

Or if your local to North London I would pay you to do the job for me 😊
Unfortunately, I am about 3 hours away.
Happy to help out where I can though.@@Mdata1962
@retfurb a list of all the capacitors would be very helpful thanks
@@Mdata1962 No problem. I will send a reply message on here later today.

NAD en is the same as NOOT
Very deprimated dirty
