Occasionally and seemingly at random, while using my Denon AVR-2312CI , I hear a clicking sound (similar to the sound it makes when turning on or switching channels), and the front left and right speakers stop functioning. After some time, also randomly, I hear the same clicking sound again, and...

Long story short, one of the Spindle/Take-Up Reel/Pins (I am not sure of the technical term, please see pictures) has cracked and only intermittently turns the cassette. So sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. My unit is a Denon DRR-M30. I would like to replace this one piece, however, I...

Ah! That sounds good! Thanks! :)

I just got a bunch of free cassettes and I would love to be able to play them. I have a vintage/basic Realistic STA-76 I got from a thrift store and I would like to be able to plug a cassette deck into it. The issue is, we live in a small"ish" place and space is key (as well as money, haha)...

I got a free pair of "Koss Dyna mite M/80 Plus" speakers. While they power up and work, the foam is mostly disintegrated. I see various kits for refoaming other speakers online but none for the "Koss Dyna mite M/80 Plus." What refoaming kit should I purchase for these? Thanks a lot! (Note...

We live in a small apartment and unfortunately, a full surround does not really work in our situation. I was just wondering how to use a soundbar with my projector. The reason I ask is the projector (and components like PS4 and Xbox) are in the back of the room, but the soundbar (and all...

I just got a three-disk Bose Wave Music System 3 Disc Multi-CD Changer Accessory. I do not own a Wave System to fully test this out. I know that these can be sold for good money, especially if it works, so I was wondering if this unit is functioning? Whenever I plug it in the wall it makes a...

Quick question, I can get a brand new, cheaper Chinese branded Excelvan Q7 which is stated to be a native 720p. As stated before, I am only keeping this for a year until we move and I get a much better 4k one. Is the Excelvan Q7 (or equivalent) native 720p projector, be a suitable replacement...

I have used my LG HW300T Projector for years and it has worked fine. However, about two months ago the HDMI port refuses to work. The VGA port does work The projector itself powers on and the projected image is fine, the built-in "smart" functions work as they should, the built-in USB port...

Thank you. Used is probably the way I will go. My previous one was a cheaper, slightly less than 720p, therefore if I can spend less than 175, I can live with it for the next year until we move and I get my 4K.

I am looking for a cheaper, used native 1080p or 720p projector with HDMI from a good company (BenQ, Viewsonic, Optoma) to replace the one that unexpectedly broke. I wanted to eventually replace the projector that broke with a 4K one when we moved to a bigger place in a year, but since my...

My InFocus IN76 is having a problem. Here is a link to the video on Youtube. I click the button to turn it on, the fans spin up, the color wheel spins up and the light turns on. The problem is the light is dim and it shows a clear screen, not a blue or white projected screen, but clear, like...

I recently upgraded my AV Receiver to a Denon AVR 2312ci I found at a thrift store for $30! It works very well! The only problem is my old receiver used a passive subwoofer and my new (to me) Denon uses an active port. I was reading that I needed an amplifier to use my passive subwoofer. I found...

My InFocus IN76 is having a problem. I have a video attached of the problem. I click the button to turn it on and the fans spin up and also the color wheel spins up, but after 5-8 seconds the wheel turns off. Twenty seconds later the color wheel spins ups and turns off again. After I placed...

Yay! Strangely enough, it was the color wheel! The bearings froze on it. New color wheel fixed it.

My thrifted Optima HD70 just died and I am in need of a new projector! I am not looking for anything fancy, just 1080p and bright. Most of these are 3000 lumens and all are 1080p, much better than the old Optima’s 720p, 1000 lumens. I have narrowed it down to two projectors from three brands...

I just got a used Optima HD70 that was working great until last night. It shut down correctly. This morning I turned it on again and the orange LED lights flash and the power light stays green but no fan turns on, no light turns on and all I can hear is a slight clicking sound inside the case...

I just got a Sony EV-C8U Video8 Player for less than $10 at a thrift store and it is in mostly working condition. The only problem is that the spindles turn, but they are sometimes jerky and make a slight grinding sound when they turn. The tape plays and the picture shows great on the screen...

Ok, so I found this Track Scan Inc. Model Number SR-5112, Item Number: 33000 at a local thrift store for $3USD and I was wondering exactly what this unit was. Doing a google search brings nothing up about this unit, but the name Track Scan brings up a company that makes racetrack cb type...

I just got a neat InFocus IN76 at a Goodwill thrift store for under $30 USD :) and the bulb that was in it had over 5000 hours on it but still was pretty good. I wanted to get a new bulb so it would be brighter, so I got a bulb and housing online and when I installed it, it is extremely dim...

Ok, so I have had a Pioneer Plasma Model PDP-42A3HD for a bit and the TV itself it works great and looks amazing. My problem is the remote sensor on the TV does not seem to work. The reason I say remote sensor is when I hold up the remote to a camera, you can see the IR blinking purple, so I...

I found a Music Hall CD32 player at a Thrift store for like 3 dollars, and knowing that Music Hall Turntables are great I picked it up. It seems to work very well and sounds excellent, but I just wanted to know some of the history behind this player. A sticker on the back says EP95056-0021...

PS. First Post :) I have my friend's pair of Infinity Reference One Speakers and I was wondering how to refoam them? Now, I have refoamed at least 4-5 different pairs of speakers in my life and this one is a bit different from the rest. These Infinity One speakers seam to have a piece of...
