Welcome Cornfarmer! I've fixed several of these. The trouble spots for drop-outs: #1 by far is the output relays. You know it's them if you crank it up and it starts playing fine. Change them no matter what. Next is the TAPE MONITOR switch. You can DeoxIt from underneath. There is a ribbon cable that operates the switch, which is located on the Input Board, remove the bottom cover for easy access. Lastly, Volume and Balance potentiometers, if DeoxIt doesn't fix them, you might need to replace them, they do go bad. As for your tuner issue, there is a variable capacitor on the Tuner "sandwich"

Hi everybody, I am looking for some help/advice. We have a Carver MX-130 that needs help (probably deferred maintenance). My wife had it for a long time before I entered the picture (hand-me-down from audiophile FIL), and over the years it's developed dropouts on mostly the left channel that sounds like dirty pots/connectors...I was always able to engage a few knobs/switches/buttons and after a few jiggles I can mostly get the channels back to acting normal. This eventually got worse of course. A while back I popped it open assuming I could spray Deoxit here and there an

Good morning all After a long hiatus I'm very much glad to be back. Please pardon my lurking while I review the last few years and get reacquainted with what's been happening at Carversite. Terry

Welcome to the Carversite Cornfarmer. Nice receiver you have there. I have the MXR150 and from old age it was acting up once in awhile so I found Greg at Nelionaudio and he did his magic and life is good. Enjoy the site and absorb all the information that is available here. There is PLENTY!!!!

Hi Terry I like your avatar. Reminds me of times when the world was a bit more normal. Welcome and sounds like you know the misfits around here already. I'm pretty new myself but have grown to love them all 😄.

Welcome back , Terry!

Welcome back Terry.

Welcome Back, Terry. Good to see your avatar again. One of my favorites... Who would have thought that "Drive In Movies" would make a comeback ! 😉 albeit without the window-hanging-speaker unit...
