I have a question prb going to get bashed by some internet trolls for it but, how would i go about cleaning my Yamaha receiver lots of nasty dust that a can of air and a brush wont clean it off. Looking for a safe way to get that nasty crap off.. any help would be great.
WaybackTECH All the circuit boards its a 7.1 surround sound receiver its about 7 yrs old and still kicking and sounds great still. trying to keep it going as long as possible. I am no were near as good as your are in repair of electronics like you are but can do minor repairs. Ive put computers in dishwashers but im not going to play Russian roulette on this lol
WaybackTECH For the record for any advice you do give if anything does happen its on me and would never hold you or anyone of that matter responsible for damages that happen if any.. I just appreciate the help and advice. I also know that all that dust and crap that's in there isn't good for it also ..
+Dustin Marklow There is only so much that can be done to clean these boards without fully removing them and washing them, same idea as washing a motherboard but I wouldn't suggest that while still in the receiver. Dust isn't a big deal, just keep it clean as much as possible. Only thing stronger would be an air compressor with a nozzle to blast that dust off. You can dampen a rag with alcohol and rub what you can, or alcohol and a paint brush.
WaybackTECH ok i will use the alcohol and brush/rag method but will remove everything that i can do its more like a nasty tarnish like dust its sticky nasty crap in the poor thing.. thank you for the advice!!!!
You know, while I was watching this video, I did remember an amplifier/receiver that my mom had, the Ken Brown SS-3350. I don't remember if the circuits are the same, but at least, the face plate is almost the same (AM, FM and TAPE indicators are something like LEDs instead of an indicator light). Have a look: i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDg3WDY1MA==/z/rSMAAOSwpDdVed7J/$_20.jpg Btw, I think this model was sold here in Argentina, do you know if that was a cheap rip off, or a licenced clone?
+Santiago Hormazabal (Coco) I took a look at the picture, and i have never heard of that brand before, but Pioneer did manufacture stereo equipment, receivers, amps, tape decks, probably turn tables and 8 tracks for other companies to resell. Much of the old ( RadioShack ) Realistic stuff is Pioneer, and I know their Optimus brand was also Pioneer. This Ken Brown looks to me like it was made by Pioneer. The looks give it away, but the font used for POWER is identical to Pioneer. Technics also did the same thing, building stuff for store brand stereo components. I think Pioneer built most of the units for other names in Korea back then, and their own branded stuff for the most part was made in Japan.
Looking forward to this series. Good luck!
nice pioneer
