Morning all,
I was hoping for some help and/or advice with regards to bringing an old amp back to life. The unit in question is a Technics SU-X120, acquired from my Dad. The unit worked wonderfully when last used a year or two ago, but has since been in storage (moisture and dust free). I am hoping to use it as a basic and budget HiFi/AV system to improve on my TV speakers, as he has since upgraded.
The problem in question is the volume. When connected to a suitable source, such as the matching CD separate (SL-PJ28A) or my phone via a suitable Aux cable, the audio is only just audible with the unit indicating maximum volume. The sound is similar to headphones playing loudly on the desk next to you. The speakers used are matching Technics SB-CS55 8 ohm 60W units.
Is it possible that I can tinker and fix this? Has something failed, and would require replacement?
Many Thanks for any tips in advance.
