2SA798 mockup replacement
An amplifier with a little too much DC voltage on one of the outputs… The culprit is a double transistor with a shared emitter: 2SA798. I don’t have such thing around so i easily hacked together two homebrew very good performing units with 4 closely matched KSA992 transistors, a bit of shrink tube and a […]

Just finished repairing the mighty Sansui CA-3000 pre-amplifier. Several of the problems originated from a sloppy done previous repair. Some noise sources were traced and repaired by replacing a handful transistors. Others were repaired by redoing the vias of the input board and tidying up a lot of solder junctions.

Hohner Symphonic 34
The beautiful “guts” of the rare Hohner Symphonic 34 electronic organ. You can see the high voltage oscillator divider circuits (a whooping 300V circuit) where the light emitting neon bulbs work as switches, dividing down the frequencies and so creating the lower octave notes of all the keys.
Dynacord DRS78
