They used differant iems in these machines and so they are not as prone to problems as later stuff.</p> <p>The power supply caps may need replacing, but you may well find your problems will be confined to hardened bearing grease and belts that need replacing.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/238871.aspxWed, 11 Nov 2009 18:17:30 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:238871RedGrant0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/238871.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=238871<p>Finally, got in touch with the person responsible for selling the unit.</p> <p>So far based on what he has told me, the unit needs service bad.&nbsp;&nbsp; It&#39;s been sitting on the basement for more than a decade.&nbsp; It&#39;s an estate item.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>He offered to send it to a technician for test for additional $50, which is reasonable.</p> <p>My question is:</p> <p>The caps in the pre-amp and amp must be pretty bad, and I want to convert this unit into a more or less component item.&nbsp;&nbsp; I want to be able to use outboard pre-amp and amps.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> <p>Would this cause problem with the operation of this unit?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
