I love that you are repairing these models! An important point--when serviced these --sound amazing! I Demo Changer/Stereos combos that I refurb on my channel. Your videos are so detailed and great presentation! Looks Beautiful!
Yes indeed, when these units are given some TLC they are very enjoyable. You have a lot of nice "specimens" that you refurb and demo, great job! keep up the fine work 🙂
Hello there, I forgot to mention in the video what the power switch issue was. Actually there was nothing physically wrong with the switch / circuit. When the turntable is switched to its on position, it powers up the receiver / amp. Apparently the customer had the turntable switch on and thought the power switch on the receiver wasn't working ;-)
@@retroelectrotech The manufacturers meant the Turntable to be the master power. It was considered like a sleep timer. So if people play a stack of records and fall asleep the entire system will shut down. It's in the manual but messes so may people up. My most common customer post purchase freakouts! Every time I ask them if the turntable is on, it is! Problem solved
@@areeko Thank you Alan for pointing that out here in the comments. I mentioned in the video that I would reveal what the "power switch issue" was all about, but I got sidetracked with all the other stuff. Yes, that's a feature on these units customers need to know about so they don't think there's a malfunction 🙂Thanks again for chiming in on that.
I have a Juliette model C964B that i getting from ebay. It works great is what the seller said , but how do you fix the Auto stop on the cassette player
Yes indeed, I use acetone myself when the going gets tough on really cruddy tape path surfaces (metal), typically with reel to reel machines. In fact I wrote an article on that topic, not that you need to read it, but if interested, I've posted the link below: www.retroelectrotech.com/post/tape-path-cleaning-solvents-and-what-do-i-use

i never hold the eraser less than 2 in. from the record/play head or erase head
i found nail polish remover will clean tape heads very quickly if they're very bad
