[QUOTE="johan.pretorius, post: 1096322, member: 19966"] The system has been sold to a gentleman who drove all the way from Krugersdorp to assess and listen to the system. He was especially concerned about the amplifier, given the nature of the design (IC based). Turned out that the amplifier, turntable and cassette deck (as expected) all require a service. The system hasn't been used in years, basically being in 'storage' in the one room. To be fair, I was told that there is a scratching noise when adjusting the volume on the amplifier. But it turned out to be worse, almost causing the deal to be cancelled. Not only was there a lot of scratching, the left channel was not working. Until your press the loudness button, which in turn de-activates the volume control... After some more fiddling with the volume control, we managed to get sound on both channels. At best, a good clean of the all the front panel controls and switches should do it. I would rate the components in the following order: - speakers (quite impressive, actually) - amplifier - CD player - cassette deck - turntable - stereo tuner (styling is not quite similar) Oh, and thank you [member=760]ghostinthemachine[/member] for your advice, all the manuals were found. All the items are in the 1988 catalogue (some are also in the 1992 one), all pretty much entry level: [url=https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/technics/music-lovers.shtml]https://www.hifiengine.com/manual_library/technics/music-lovers.shtml[/url] [/QUOTE]
