It depends on: How comfortable you are with a soldering iron How comfortable you are reading a schematic How badly you want to keep the unit and get it working. You can also reach out to High-Tech Audio (Skamania, WA) or Nelion Audion (visible on this site). That is my suggestion.

Hello, I have a CM-1090 that I purchased brand new from a Lechmere store back in the day. Wow, that was a minute ago. This thing has been a champ running a pair of Cerwin-Vegas with 12" woofers since the beginning. Age has taken a toll though. One meter lamp went out years ago, no biggie. Oh, and the power button only lasted about 5 years of ownership LOL. Now, however, it started flickering the CD Direct function on and off semi-rapidly cutting the audio source (typically TV) on and off. Thought I'd open it up and clean the switch with DeoxIT, but there are more issues to be found. R779 on the main board is burnt and loose. Caps are bulging. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do with it. Any thoughts and suggestions welcome! Would probably prefer to get it back in shape some how...

Rick Wakeman, Return to The Red Planet was released on October 16, 2026. "Following his acclaimed 2020 album The Red Planet, Rick Wakeman makes a triumphant and inevitable return to Mars with Return To The Red Planet, a sweeping new progressive work that fuses science, imagination and musical virtuosity into one of the most ambitious recordings of his career."

Hello, and thanks to the members who welcomed me. I have my PL400 Series 1 on the workbench, and I’m about to perform one final update. This will include replacing all the ceramic capacitors, swapping C6 for a 330µF or 470µF 16V non-polarized "Muse" capacitor (depending on what I have in stock), adding two diodes in parallel, and replacing all the carbon resistors with metal film ones. After that, I’ll run some tests using my diagnostic equipment and, of course, do some listening. I’m sure I’ve got a few hours of enjoyment ahead of me. Have a good day, Mark
