Hi.
Can anybody give me a heads up on what these Pots do on these circuit boards. Ive got a feeling they tweak certain parts of the CS880, but which parts?????
U notice the various coloured pots with the adjustment dials in the centre. WHAT DO THEY ADJUST??????

Glen, It seems you won't be happy with it until you have wrecked it!
I suspect you are looking for more 'gain' in the amplifier. If you do find something that will achieve it; the rest of the 30 year old circuitry will more than likely cook itself. Is this a risk worth taking?

It's a ghettoblaster glen...not a home hifi....have to agree with nick here.....most of those pots are tuner and recording deck pots...i suggest you leave alone.....

Like NickFish and radio raheem already suggested: Those are oscillator pots, and they are mostly used for calibrating the radio section and the frequency of the erase head. Tweaking them wouldn't result in a louder box, but in a misaligned radio that can't receive well or a eraser head that wouldn't erase well enough.

Take a look at the Glen's signatue, LOL
If you don't take risks, you will never know what you can accomplish.
