I actually thought you were going to give up and as happy to see you stuck with it. Thanks for sharing Simon...

That's a good tip to remember Simon. Check the fuseable resistors in this era of consumer grade stuff. It's a shame that the quality of the Sony gear had slipped so much by this time. Today I don't think much of their stuff is even made in Japan anymore except for maybe some of their high end broadcast equipment. TV cameras and such. ATB Doug.

Nice fix! Thanks

I got a BROWN one last week, belonged to a nicotine addict!!  I spent ages looking for the same fault as here, gave up then as a last gasp I looked on YT.
Exactly the same fault at the same resistor!  Thanks for keeping me a BIT more sane than I was getting, well done.  Like many on here I have LOADS of projects, I'll list them here and you can diagnose them for me too!??  Thanks again.   Alan

What kind of lamps are used on this reveicer? Voltage/mA? Where can I buy them?

Nice video Simon and a good save. I'm a big fan of Sony stuff from the 70s. I've quite a few lol. Hope your well mate. The most oddball Sony receiver I have is an STR 700. Not too many of them about. Need a full restore though.

Av geet 1 of these same issue but with the fusable resistor near heat sink did ya just put a glass fuse in replacement

I have a Sony STR 333L with no audio on tuner, so replacing the fuseable resistors was the solution like in one of your previous videos of this amp, unfortunately now the stations doesnt stop changing even if you stop moving the dial,  any idea about the solution?

i have a sony st 242L, its a similar style to that but not as many bells and whistles. it also says made in west germany on it. i have to say the tuner itself has a great sound to it.

Fabulous looking set there Simon, well done finding the resistor... Not at the highest-end of Sony gear for sure - but nevertheless - still a quality of product that is rarely seen nowadays, whatever the manufacturer.

I have a similar model, 333L, like you say they look great. Phono and tape input work fine however the tuner gets signal but the volume is pathetic. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

"Hi! I'm from Argentina. I own the STR313S model and it’s a gorgeous piece of gear. The original IC (SI 1125HD) was fried, so I'm currently restoring it by designing a new PCB to support an STK module.

I’ve found official Sony documentation regarding adjustments, but not the specific PCB layout. I’ve already drafted and tested my own design, but I’d like the peace of mind of comparing it to an external schematic or layout.

Do you happen to have any photos of the adapter that comes with that unit? (I realize you probably haven't had it for a long time now)."

I quite agree it is a lovely looking receiver on the outside. Funny that they didn’t do the business with the electronics on the inside as the build cost must have been relatively high for all that bling.  I thought the fault could be You spilled your bottle of Hi Karate aftershave into it ?

Do you know the schematic of this little board?

Добрый день. Недавно купил sony str 313 L , прикрасная вещ , но есть один нюанс - не работает темброблок. Скажите в чём может быть проблема? Я не специалист, поэтому решил обратиться к вам. Дело в резисторах или в чём-то другом?

Bloody Fuseable Resistors Hate Them They Used To Use Them All The Time Back in Day In Video Recorders  Just To Save 10p On a Fuse !! Glad You Got It Sorted Simon Nice One ..Regards mike.

Hello!  What output chips used?

Hi Simon n I have one of these, the tape light stays on so I have to loop the tape to get tuner, any thought on that, kindest regards

Metal look adds value. I've had many vintage receivers......Kenwood, Pioneer, Toshiba, Marantz. Never a Sony. Still have my Marantz & Kenwood gear getting very dusty. GAS Thaedra preamp, Phase Linear 400 & 5100 tuner into JBL L222's still working. I am partially deaf as a result. As far as using the tuner sections, I don't find much of anything appealing to listen to via OTA broadcast anymore. Too many talking heads and micro-managing midgets spoiled the fun.

hello I would like to know if this sony equipement is good? I am from Argentina and in my country there is very little information about it. Thank you.
