Hi everyone, I purchased a CF-580 locally in the twin cities that was in really rough condition. Here’s a YouTube video I made: [MEDIA] I...
Excellent. I have a pretty extensive tool collection due to an odd mix of hobbies, and am sure I have some JIS tips but actually hadn’t ever...
Left PCB removal pretty easy. From here not sure of next steps. Is the right PCB glued or adhered to the metal top plate in the image? Not...
Ok so EBay FM pack arrived this morning. Installed and other than the scratchy volume pot had decent sound out of both channels. No stereo...

Just a quick pic to show where I’m getting held back. The grey wire goes to a reed switch by the transformer. That was looped around the main...
Thanks. I have the free service manual but it’s for the CF-550. Not the A version. Not exactly the same. Didn’t think to look and see if the...
