      Inherited Carver Stack Troubles

      By ProAlpine · Posted

      Greetings. Thanks for the add. My dad owned a burglar and fire alarm company from the 70s - early 90s. In addition to installing alarms in high end homes, he installed Hi Fi on the side. We always had a bitchin sound system in the house growing up. I remember him playing discs (not compact, but the size of vinyl) way back in the day. Then we had CDs way before most even knew what they were. Well he passed away a few years ago and I've come across some of the stuff...   Like others, I inherited my dad's carver stack: C-2 preamp, M-1.5t amp and m-200t amp. They haven't been used in many years. I'm wanting to hook up a Pioneer record player to listen to vinyl in the house.    First, some guidance on connecting everything up would be great. Can I use both the M-1.5t & the M-200t? Or is it one or the other, not both. If that's the case, which do you suggest?   Next my volume control seems corroded. I've tried spraying CRC Electronic Cleaner and turning the knob, but it's ineffective - lots of cracking and R speaker comes and goes. Should I try something else? Is there a replacement?   Thanks for the help.

      New member. Help with M500T

      By Daddyjt · Posted

      You need to test TP 1 to TP 2 - NOT to ground… same with 3 & 4.

      TP3 or TP4 to ground is 5.1vdc.   TP1,2 to ground is 100mvdc.   I checked all of the outputs and they test fine.   I’m thinking another transistor on the board ?

      hello All ! Olskool here …bought a Carver C-19 preamp today …Being shipped ..fingers crossed it gets here  undamaged ,,,unlike my last two items Ive had shipped . Been doing this for years and had very little problems until last week .
        The Carver TFM55x had one handle smashed sideways and right channel scratchy and hums barely plays  …
        waiting on FedX for ins adjustment ..hope it isnt too badly damaged .! Both items were not packed so well …
        When I ship something out it is packed as good as i can get it and its not going to be moving around inside the box ,,that is for  sure . Crunched up paper is NOT packing material . imo

      I was told you are the one to go to about rebuilding C-9's? I recently purchased one and when SH is engaged I get a high pitched noise. when not engaged it's dead silent. I was thinking recapping, new RCAs,,,,,, your thoughts?
