Cannot get steady speaker connections for stereo receiver
Hello Johnsabljic :-)
Being an old stereo, the most probable cause are dirty contacts in all of your controls and switches - especially A-B speaker switches.
Remove all round plastic knobs from your volume, tone, balance (etc.) controls. (they should be pried off carefully with a flat blade screwdriver)
squirt a little contact cleaner (or WD40 if contact cleaner not available. I use a 50 - 50 % WD40 and rubbing alcohol solution in an old Visine container - but if you do this always label the container "Contact Cleaner" as you don't want someone to use it to clean their eyes and go blind)
Squirt about a half a teaspoon of contact cleaner around each rotary shaft where it enters into control surrounded by the nut.
Do this also with all on/off switches and sliding controls as well.
Manually turn all rotary controls back and forth so the solution will work itself in. Move all sliding controls back and forth also, and click all switches on and off as well.
I would let it sit for about an hour before you power it up.
I run into this alot when I refurbish old receivers and eight track players.
Good luck,
Fred
Volume control works Sometimes,if i go up and down eventually they works but jumps on the increase volume (Too Loud or To Slow).
I also Noted that the Remote Control doesn't work either for any Commands (is not the remote)i have 2 remotes all programed and the original and neither one works.
The Only way i can make the volume works thru the remote or volume knob if is i unplug the receiver for couple of minutes looks like they reset and works (kind of) but not the the way should be
