I own a Phillips DCC-900 Digital Compact Cassette Deck. I haven't done
much with this deck for several years and hooked it up recently to
migrate some digital cassettes to another format. When I first began,
tapes played fine. After a week or so, random drop outs began to

Removed a working WD 60GB HD last year with very little use and when
recently  tried to use there is No Sound from the motor starting.
Am guessing it is the contacts or pin connections.  Have had it happen
before where  the  HD did not start and wiggled the plug and

I use Chloro-Kleen which I purchased years ago when it was legal.
Unfortunately it's running out now and I was wondering what  all you guys
like...
I use isopropyl for some stuff, and MEK for cleaning flux from boards, but

I just got a used Tek 465m. It worked perfectly when I tested it, and
then a couple more times after that. It would then intermittently not
turn on (although the screen illum would still work). Now, it

I purchased a new CRT TV one month ago. About a week ago I noticed a
few small wavy lines on the left side of the screen. They are usually

When I reviewed the NAD MR-20 for Stereophile 20+ years ago, I was so
impressed I bought one. It's given me yeoman service; I suspect it has ...

This Yamaha HTR-5890 surround sound receiver had two shorted power
transistors and a blew the main 10 amp fuse. I replaced those but the

Would anyone know, the DC resistance for the main driver, and the impedance
of the main driver used in the Advent Legacy II speaker box?
I know that the total speaker unit is rated at 6 ohms.  I need to know the
bass driver's DC resistance.

I have a Sony DA333ES 32 bit digital receiver and have been having
sound issues lately.  The unit was purchased new in March 2000.
Of late, sometimes (and sometimes everything is fine) I have no sound
at all or will only have sound when I turn the surround field off.

I have a Luxman R115 that gives left channel static when I turn the
balance control.  As soon as I let go of the control the static stops,
though the sound on the left channel may have less volume than it
should.   I can easily fix the volume by playing with the control.

Can anyone suggest what the problem is likely to be with my Tascam
Porta 07 (a multitrack cassette recorder)?
I'm operating the unit with a 12V 500mA power supply (exact equivalent
to the Tascam brand PS-P2 power supply that goes with this unit) with

made no difference. The computer works fine with ...
