New member, I am a service tech
AndrewJohn replied to Bobh's topic in The Welcome Shop (Please read first)
Welcome, @Bobh, Glad you found us. I'm not a tech, but there are some here that may respond. Just a heads-up that this is a volunteer community of Carver afficianado's and fans..., not really a tech support site - although there are many technical threads of work, restorations, refreshes and repairs for many many Carver components - that's what the volunteer aspect is. We welcome you to start thread on your repair and contribute to the community with your diagnosis and repair. That will likely get more volunteers to pipe in over the next few days/weeks. Most of the techs that are members here are in business, and don't visit that often - they are just swamped with Carver and non-Carver work as I understand it. There are some hobbyist techs too that are exceptionally skilled, they are likely the first to respond, if they can. FWIW, the MXR-130 is a beloved receiver, and there are many examples of restorations and repairs in the forums. You could browse the receiver section, or use the SEARCH function - that will also help guide your research..., beware, there is a LOT hear, and search will give you lots of threads to peruse..., and may take time. Again, welcome, glad you found us, and enjoy the deep resources here in the threads. Oh, btw, do you have the docs and schematics for the MXR-130 to work from? If not, check out the manuals library (top of page, main menu "Manuals and Specsheets". -
Carver Amazing speakers and recapping.
AndrewJohn replied to Scifibilly's topic in The Welcome Shop (Please read first)
It's been done before. And, probably a good thing to do - your choice, as @xavionics notes, on whether you want to go with high-end caps, or basic ones. I've not recapped my Amazing crossovers, but other speakers. I used capacitors from Parts Express for the purpose - they seem to have a good selection of radial caps for speaker crossovers, of reasonable quality. Share some pictures as you do this project! 😉 We'd love to watch. Oh, yes, be sure to search, or review the threads in the Speaker forum, as I recall this project being done before and documented in a thread on the site. -
Welcome, @cljunior, so glad you found us. Looking forward to your participation. Don't forget to post some pictures of your gear!! 😉 We love picturs.

Welcome, @Tuesfurioza, so glad you found us. Actually, while there is less knowledge in the knowledge base on car audio, some things are here (check out Manuals library, and threads in the Auto audio forums you can find by scrolling down on the home page, or using SEARCH. There have been some here that have delved into automobile audio. And, why not become the expert? Post your work, and stories, for others to benefit, as you travel down your journey with your Carver M-4120. I'm looking forward to seeing your threads. Again, welcome!

New Guy...with the most beautiful MXR150!
AndrewJohn replied to RAD150's topic in The Welcome Shop (Please read first)
Check with Les, at Circuits and Concepts on the controls/knobs/buttons. He at one time had a full complement to offer. send him a PM on Ebay, or here on this site, he's a member under the same name as his Ebay selling account. Love that MXR-150, I have one just like it, wood sides, it's so elegant. Welcome to the site, @RAD150, so glad you found us. -

A friend of mine forwarded this to me on FB. Crazy, but I could read it immediately. There must be something wrong with me. Can you read it without trying? Use that "speed reading" technique they taught us back in High School..., that's actually key. -
