I have a 30 year old Panasonic SG-1010L music centre and the ceramic stylus and cartridge have been damaged. Would anyone know where I might get a replacement. I do know that the centre has been discontinued by Panasonic and thus replacements aren't available. Any help would be gratefully accepted

Hi I'm not sure if this is the correct Newsgroup or not but I am looking for information (preferably a workshop manual or circuit) on a 'Trucker P.A.' made by Custom Sound (Solid State Technology) Ltd of Arthur Street, Oswestry, I think probably in the 1970s. Should be grateful if anyone has any ideas as to where I can get one (a manual, not the PA!).

Hello, i'm an happy owner of a quad fm1 tube tuner. It sounded marvelous despite being a mono tuner. One month ago it started to fail. At the beginning it worked few hours when i turned it on and then stopped suddenly : no sound coming out.

This is posted for 'offlist' purposes but it's a pity to waste it: http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Bad%20Weather.mp3 Anybody name the band then? No, bugger that - too easy! Name the sax player instead!! :-)

I mentioned Win 95 Power Tools a few days back as I had just installed it to be able to produce directory names (albums) in a list. Do *not* install this on an XP machine without great care. In fact, do NOT install it at all - it infested my machine with a number of other little utilities I didn't want, put a load of crap in my Startup and caused problems with my DVD writer. I got a 'Blank...

OK, for those who like this sort of thing, here are two tracks of totally different recordings of the same piece of music: http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Jazztrack01.mp3 http://www.apah69.dsl.pipex.com/show/Jazztrack02.mp3 A number of factors separate them, not the least of which is the passage of more than a decade!

Hi all, any exBBC engineers floating around? I am trying to get some information about a BBC PPM drive card. It is the one used to drive the Sifam dual needle unit (red and green needles AB/MS etc.) It appears to use digital-based sampling to perform the characteristics. It also has 4 small pots along the top and an 8 way DIP switch bank. All the inputs are all on a 25 way D type connector ,...

Hi, I just purchased a delightful pair of used ProAc 125's in Cherry wood, everything is in exceptional condition except for when I take the grill's off there is fading around where the grill's sit. I know the ProAc's are real wood veneered only so does anybody know of a product that will bring the fading back to life. A picture of the problem can be viewed here...

Aalso How is all this stuff wired together. Am I asking too much? Can you...

Anyone got a circuit diagram of this 1980's integrated amp? I've been given one as a fixer upper and I need to establish what the output transistors are. As the originals are missing it's a bit hard to ID the type nos. :) I think (from memory ) they may be BDTxx. Thanks Mike

Hi Guys Can I pick some expert brains please? I am looking for a non portable HDD based MP3 player with a cd drive included. The idea is that I can load all of my cds onto the system, stick them in the loft and just use the files stored on the HDD going forward. I heard a rumour that Sony used to produce such a thing but it is no
