Hello I need your help to complete a restoration of a SHARP VZ-3000. On a speaker SHARP CP-3000, only the tweeter works, the woofer does not give sound. Same situation whether it's on the right or left exits. I control the voltage at the terminals, everything is ok. On the service scheme, a...

Hi all, I managed to acquire this little beauty, a Bush 7080. It's above Mini status, fitting more into the smaller side of Small boxes. It's neat, tidy, compact, has all front controls and is a pretty good looker. Issues and/or problem areas: 1. Broken handle: will fix or replace in due...

Hi All, I'm looking trying to improve the sound quality of the speakers in some of my three-piece boxes, mainly those at the lower end of the cost spectrum(!), to reduce the 'hollow plastic' sound that is often an unwanted feature of these speakers. In most cases, the speaker boxes are of a...

Here we go again! So then, a £10 fare being duly paid, I've provided a permanent home to a forlorn little chap called Sharp GF-A2H(BR) for the duration. The young chap as he arrived: At first glance this little gem appears to be in a reasonable condition, radio works fine, tape head...
