CASE # 876500  . 12/03.2025 . MCINTOSH  MA6100.   No sound from right channel.

Customer shorted speaker wires  and  lost right channel.

After troubleshooting found 2 fuses for right channel are blown. Output transistors  dead too.  Rest of parts tested ok. This model use  hard to find  132-128 Motorola NPN transistors .    MJ15022  transistors are perfect substitute.   Installed, tested , no need any adjustments.

CASE # 453621  . 12/03/2025 .  SANSUI TU-717 TUNER.  No FM. AM band is ok.

Interesting case. All voltages in FM section is normal . After touching pin 1 on  LA1222  we have sound respond  in FM IF line, meaning something not working before LA1222   IF amplifier  . After shorting legs on CFC01   filter ( pin  1 and 3 ). FM band starts working.   Filter  CF01 is bad.   In case if you don,t have such unusual part you can use any non electrolytic  small capacitor  value 10pF -5000 pF, voltage no matter, between pins 1 and 3 on CF01 filter .
