Excellent! :thumbright: The 'clunk' might have been a solenoid? My Akai has all plug-in boards, which was probably a 'thing' back then, and they plug into 0.2 inch pitch double-sided edge connectors, which I don't think you can get anymore. The biggest is for the motor control board and there was so...

You are having a subwoofer?

Seen that a few years ago but still a good one.

Ah, dirty socket connections then hopefully. :D I just remembered, yes another sign is funny noises. Have had a bunch of 6SN7's go off with clicking crackling noises. Sounds like bad connections, but not. Also had Golden Dragon EL34's where the getter gradually disappeared. Didn't turn white, just d...

Damn. :( Need a service manual really to know how things are supposed to work, what they look like and how to test stuff. I've got an Akai GX370D, from a mate at Maplin, soon after I got a second hand service manual (from the US!), and I've needed it! Belts can be very dodgy due to age and cause a l...

.... Could I use the usual cheap keyboard,mouse, usb stick that I am used to? What about a monitor? Svga, DVI, hdmi or .... What? Any thoughts? Waste of time and money? I did this for quite a while, then finally forced myself to learn to use the native screen, keyboard and mousepad - actually, neve...

And the others

Thanks for your enthusiasm chasps. :thumbright: The smaller bikes are attractive – then you go onto bigger stuff later on, and the possible problems and expenses get bigger too. And the weight. I haven't forgotten a memorable trip I did to south Wales and back on my Honda CD175, in 1978. The bike ha...

Drilled a small drain hole in the bottom of air filter box to let any water out. There's a photo someone posted on FB, showing the inside of his half full of water. Apparently, they say, this should be part of dealer PDI now, to put a wee drain hole in. To be extra posh I added a bit of 6mm rubber h...
