Tuner tragedy!

tls49-

Thanks for the information. I have reasonable DIY skills, and the diagrams are invaluable.

Im gonna put my fixit hat on and get'er done next weekend.

 

Thanks for providing your thoughts on the Rush reissue - I was really hoping that someone had heard it.  I have all the original LPs from back in the day and love them but I was most interested in the new reissue for no other reason than 2112 was remastered in Abbey Road studio, which happens to use the same speakers that I own (why I bought them).

As of late, I've been generally disappointed in new vinyl reissues since they've all inevitably entered the digital domain (which makes playing the vinyl more than a bit hypocritical).

My gut tells me that for $79, I may as well add it to my collection just for S&G's....  I'll get the order in next week and when I receive them, I'll report back...  Which could be months thanks to USPS Media Mail :)

Good luck with your project and let us know how it goes!

Greg-

I may be wrong, since I HAVE NOT heard this reissue. Just can't imagine it being the exception to my experiences. 
I'm  ashamed to admit being a pessimist regarding ANY reissues.
The mono  Beatles stuff, I do enjoy. Real deal period is unobtanium.

My misspent youth listening reissues-Jeff Beck,Floyd,Trower,Zep etc. ALL leave me hungry a half hour later like Chinese food.

There is a great tech working at Brooks Berdan Ltd. in Monrovia, just East of Pasadena. Tom is the service engineer at one of the big L.A. TV stations, and does all the repair work for Sheila Berdan. He’s in the shop on Wednesdays and Saturdays. May as well have Tom align the tuner (if it needs it) while he’s at it. The shop is an authorized McIntosh dealer and service center, and Tom has a lot of experience with tube gear from Jadis, VTL, ARC, Music Reference, and Mac.
