billmr 16 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Hi everyone, I am new to this site, but not new to Carver, or Audio Mainly I joined cause I had questions about some carver equipment and repair, but I don't see where I can post these. For example I had a tcm-15cb that was working perfectly and one day last month would not output sound but lit up, I pulled the fuse and it was good. I put it back in and it did not light up and still no sound. very strange While waiting for the mod to approve me hoping there was a schematic I found one elsewhere and was able to repair part of the power supply so I get sound, but it still does not light up and the meter needles do not move. I will probably work on it more soon but at least I can listen to music. I also have an hr-772 when I got it there was no sound, now it works but the FM is much louder than the cd/aux/tape/phono inputs (maybe 6db? I have not measured) but I don't know if this is normal. lastly I have some silver 7 transformers and a bunch of tubes I don't know if anyone knows anything about these or where I would post about them Thanks 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the meantime, kick your shoes off, turn up the music, and welcome aboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Admin AndrewJohn 8,031 Posted January 12, 2020 Community Admin Share Posted January 12, 2020 Welcome! The manuals section of the site is under construction - but someone here might have that service manual you seek. Other techs will come along... If nothing else, good to have you join. We love pictures of gear..., show off your setup. Curious, how did you come across silver 7t transformers? That's odd - are you selling? Someone might want those. Welcome to our little piece of paradise! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian_at_HHH 2,607 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Welcome to the group. You're definitely in the right place for help with your Carver gear. There are plenty of very knowledgeable people, here, who can guide you, or in serious cases, do repairs. Carver gear is eminently maintainable, thanks to people like we have here. There are also those of us who are more comfortable with the covers safely screwed on, where our clumsy fingers are safely out of the way of things that can go Zap! I'm sure the techs will offer advice on your amp and receiver issues. With respect to the Silver 7 components, what are you looking to do? Sell them, build something with them? Find the rest of the pieces to (re)create Silver-7's? In the mean time, welcome, and remember to enjoy the music! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billmr 16 Posted January 13, 2020 Author Share Posted January 13, 2020 pretty sure they are silver 7 tube transformers both power and output since there was a schematic tubes and parts, I think someone was going to try and make their own. the transformers were in sealed boxes addressed to bob, how could anyone resist bob carver boxes of mystery ? I will dig them out and post some pics 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
