    Sorry about that. The first pair of L36s,

    the ones I used to listen to in 1974, they helped persuade me to try things that may have permanently reversed parts of my mind. And I may be getting flash-backs listening to these new ones.

    Yeah, the joys of Yes, the Dead and all of that on 4310s back in the day
    are what encouraged me to get my pair of L-36s in '76 ...

    Kept them 30 years until I found this site and got bigger ones!

    Yes

    Electrolytic capacitors drift in value (uF) over time...Change in
    Bias/Offset. Resistors can quit. Relays can fudge up.

    Controls/Switches (Bass/Treble/Balance...) get dirty over time. (Deoxit)

    Full Bass with Loudness activated will reveal

    I have considered having it recapped since I got it. It sounds great, but it seems to be a little weak in FM reception. I'd like to see if I'm missing anything. May as well as long as I have one. Took me long enough to get. Anybody have the name of a good Sansui guy in the Kentucky area. Anywhere close to Louisville would be great. Thanks!!

    But then I used to dream of being John Holmes, so I learned to dream more reasonably!

    I would like to stuble upon a pair of L100s or L112s or even L200s one day. I have to keep it cheap though, because I have 9 grandbabies who all have a really special way of opening Pawpaws wallet.

    Is your 9090 a DB version? The 9090BD was notorius for having problems with the Dolby board. Easy fix! They sound great once the caps and cold solders and resitors are updated & resolved.
