Look here as well as ebay and US Audio Mart (iirc). You may be able to find things on fb marketplace depending on where you are located.

Coming late to this party, obviously - but if I recall, the original germ of this idea came from David Hafler when he was a designer for Dynaco. It was in Stereo Review back in the late 70's where I recall reading it as well. Here is the wiki link: Hafler Circuit

Without having access to a service manual, I am not sure if the 0.6V is low or is expected. If you have something as simple as a DMM w/continuity checker and a copy of the schematic, you can trace the signal path. That is the thing I would suggest. Others are far more experienced (I am sure there are a few retired techs who can offer far better advice than myself). Good luck.

I wont know the part numbers until I receive the bill. And even then, IT MAY NOT WORK. These are just the things Roland observed. 🤷‍♂️

The Saga of the 3200 continues on... So the last time we heard from our intrepid carverphile, he had picked up a Carver TL-3220 from ebay that had a 'bad playback motor'. Ok, so I said to myself "Self, for $100, this would be worth the risk to get the 3200 playing happily again." So the sacrificial lamb arrived a week later, and I made arrangements with Roland at Hi-Tech Audio in Stevenson, WA. (Lovely little town 50 mi east of me, and the snow was lovely.) Before I took both units east, I did a final bit of investigation. From past testing, a cd would skip on track 2 and at the outer edges of the disc. Well lo-and behold, I played two discs that played all the way through! Took the units to Roland with my notes of what I discovered. After some investigation on his part, and 2 more CDs that played all the way through, he found that a) the motor on my unit was starting to go bad and b) the motor on the sacrificial lamb had been replaced with a non-carver part. So motors are ordered, and both units may be up and running (or both may have other failures... who knows). The point is, I may have two Carvers, one i will sell to recover the cost of this crazy restoration.

Rest in Peace, Ralph Towner

Check the for the technical manual here at this site. That would be a good starting point.

Velkommen!

Sk1Bum, I have heard great things about KWPQ. I will give them a listen and add them to my station repertoire. Joe

Sk1Bum, actually considering the WiiM AirPlay 2. I was looking at the Arylic S10, but the Andriod app is incompatible with my J23 Samsung.

The bad part about the PNW is that good quality FM stations are hard to come by. There are maybe two that are not filled with talking ad nauseum and rampant "fund raising" (speaking of fund-raising, WTH is going to happen now that the Corp for Public Broadcasting closed up shop? (Political comments stuffed in the closet). I did happen to find a good station to stream from the Bay Area: https://kcsm.org/ It is A LOT better than my usual station (https://www.kmhd.org/) and had a more varied playlist (sorry KMHD, I can only listen to the same Kamasi Washington tune so many times before my ears get tired). I am still in the market for a digital streamer instead of my MacBook, so that will be a little better audio I expect.

Sk1bum, I like Brave New World, but Black Diamond really gets me in a happy place.

One thing I have noticed of late (and could really use confirmation on) is that many of the manuals that are on hifi-engine are slolwy finding their way over to vinyl-engine which renders them IMPOSSIBLE to access UNLESS YOU HAVE AN ACCOUNT. The problem is, the owner of vinyl-engine also owns hifi-engine and they have restricted (read stopped) new accounts. I looked over at Electrotanya.com but they only have a service manual. I did see a few user manuals on ebay but they want $24 USD.

What specifically are you looking for? Just a Users Guide or other information, such as personal experience?
