The Master needs help

viennasound - 2009-02-02 08:07

Just got a AUDIOTON Master Blaster.
Never seen such big Machine before.
It´s now my biggest box. Smile



But there is a problem.
Only the right speaker is working.
At the left side there is only whispering.
The speaker must be ok, because over headphone it´s the same.
All switches cleaned, njet.
So i think anything at the end-amplifier must be blown? Confused

Anyone a idea what to do?
Anyone had the same problem? Roll Eyes

I have no idea about the issues, but gratulation on the deal , was watching it 2 Big Grin.

Eek Congratulations VS, wow...that is a honker (huge) bbx!

As for the quiet left channel, since all the switches are cleaned, the only other possibilities I can think of (that is, hoping it's not an amp issue), are (1) the record (internal) switch may need cleaning...this is fairly common. (2) A less common situation, (but one I had to deal with on my Sharp GF-555) was a bent pin (and heavy dirt accumulation) in the headphone output jack. In my situation, one of the connectors (that disengage built in speakers) was damaged, as it was making partial contact to ground, plus the heavy build up of dirt and gunk was preventing one of the channels from working properly. It took a while to discover this, but was finally able to correct it.

Best wishes...hope you're able to pinpoint (and fix) the problem. Smile

There you go VS! Nod Yes Congratulations on another aquisition. I've never heard of this name. I have all the faith that you'll get her playing strong again. Please post more detailed pics when you get the chance.

Thanks boys.
I will open it next weekend and tell you the news. Roll Eyes
I hope i get it fully working.
This box has unbelieveable bass power.
Just on one speaker!
When both playing it must be a hammer.
The neighbours will love me... Laugh Out Loud




The VU´s are also only flashing at the right side. Wish me luck to get this monster working. Smile

Also interesting:
Every slider of the equalizer is illuminated for it´s own. With 10 LEDs! Red Face
At the back 2 doors for tape storage.
More pics when working at it. Wink
