Another time-consuming but deeply rewarding home repair. I love this amp far too much to replace it, and there’s really no excuse when there’s a detailed YouTube video of a Turkish chap repairing the very same 44-year-old Technics amplifier. I came close to despair with the input switches, but I bloody did it.

@colly Love this! Wish I was handy enough to do this.

Back when I was a teenager in the late 1990s, I was gifted a B&O Beogram 8000 that worked, but only partly. I wasn’t smart enough to fix it and YouTube wasn’t a thing yet. I held on to it for years just because it was beautiful, but eventually gave it away.

@onpaperwings I'm not handy at all, never matured into one of those people. But then, there are coffee machines and hifi separates that I love too much, and YouTube makes a home repair believable. I hope one day to find a Prophet-5 in a skip and spend eight years rebuilding it.
