Luxman R1050 Bias challenge,

This beautiful Luxman R1050 was a fun project to work on, the Bias was a challenge but was worth doing , all and all this 55 watts receiver is worth owning or restoring, it's got everything you need in a receiver, It will sound amazing, any tech will work on it, and it will hold its value much better.
Hope you enjoy my video and PLS send me your comments and I would truly appreciate if you could subscribe to my channel.

Extremely helpful, Thank you, as I am working on my 1050. My relay takes about 8 seconds to click when I first turn it on. It sounds fine though, pots need to be cleaned. Thanks again for a great video.

Bringing some love to an old classic...built like a tank she is. You don't see many of these in the wild, let alone in mint condition. Your customer should be happy with this little tune-up. Thanks for your time and enjoy the weekend!

I fully agree with you and support you. And have a great weekend too.

Great video, really helpful for someone trying to do this on their own without a mA meter.

Good afternoon. Very trendy gloves. ) Great job

What, you don't like my gloves? lol

[@VintageAudioFever]

thank you buddy!

[@emilagaev8764]

@@VintageAudioFever Of course I like it)) I will also order these for myself for work))

[@Poppinwheeeeellllllieeeeez]

Also a good idea to wear non conductive gloves.

Hello,
I just did the bias adjustment on my 1050. I only have a DMM. I set the meter to read amps and set .05 amps on both channels for what I assumed was the correct reading translated for 50miliamps.
Is this correct? I ask because the left right balance is better and got ride of static and dropouts, but now is almost flat or anemic sounding, and vocals disappear weirdly in the center on some songs. Sounds like maybe some distortion and folding in on itself as well.
If I wanted to measure via the emitter resistors where are they on the pcb layout and what leads to I measure? It’s hard to see in your video.
Thanks!

Thanks, for the video - what a great machine and excellent service by you! I don't understand why you could not switch your fluke meter to mA setting and clip it to either side of the fuse to do the bias adjustment? Did the slight channel imbalance go away?
