JVC PC-X1000, V pot - CD drive fix.

[Chris O.]

Hi all my first post here..
Literally got mad and tired of this crackling on the Left channel I did try DeoxIT gold G5 for 2 days.


V pot..










Volume pot blade falling off..

J-B WELD


CD drive TODO

CD not even spinning turns out to be as simple as cleaning the optical laser lens but to get inside that was whole another story.
Anyways still having a bit of issue with what appears to be CD drive dampers/absorbers thanks to the subwoofer mounted under...

New here I'm not quite sure how I can upload the service manual for PCX1000_SERVICE M_JVC_EN_HQ.pdf not available in the JVC library ?

 

[caution]

Now that's how you clean a pot properly! Good job!
It's already available on Internet archive, there's even a version with searchable text

Thanks for all the likes
I am impressed with the sound quality now I did however fixed a cold solder joint on the speaker output connector.

Next thing on my to-do list .....JVC p#111 CD cushion
The dampers/absorbers CD drive changer mechanism needs some type of repair.

 

[Chris O.]

Well I fix the CD drive issue I can blast the volume to the max and no music skipping..
Now the CD drive changer has a suspension from RC Truck (just another hobby lol).

a big congratulations

 

[Chris O.]

Thanks everyone.
This is turning into JVC PC-X1000 full blown restoration
Next thing on my to-do list Tactile Switches... DeoxIT gold G5 not helping me or at least does not seem to work for more than a day.

 

[caution]

You might try what the guy did in this video.
He pushed a piece of rubber tubing over the switches so that he could operate them while they're submerged in contact cleaner.

 

[Chris O.]

Exactly my problem I am going to try this crazy idea

 

[Chris O.]

I think I did find replacement but......

 

[Chris O.]

This definitely works or get the replacement Omron Electronics B3F-6100 @ DIGIKEY.

 

[Chris O.]

Now this boombox works better than new
@caution Thanks for the YouTube video... After whooping 20 tactile switches hack repair I am proud of myself.

To get to the TUNER/BAND buttons I had to remove all the guts on the bright side I managed to fix the cassette mechanism (new belts).








Tape rubber belt turn to gunk


Here is the final outcome






Just need to clean up the speakers..

 

[Spax]

Judging by the yellowing of the white plastics and discolouration of the wires is it safe to say that the interior smells like a damp ashtray?

I can handle dirt, dust and allsorts but the stink of some tech from a smokers house really turns my stomach

 

[Chris O.]

Since this JVC was stuck in music studio for more than 3 years I'm sure it's more than just cigarettes smoke

 

[Chris O.]

How about this speaker dust off clean up
