Tip & How-To about Technics SA-DA8 Receiver

Keeping your SA-DA8 cool

When I first bought this I noticed that it runs very hot even on low volume levels. I took it in for repair and told the tech that the fan didn't come on even when hot. He said "works as designed - the fan is output-power-driven, not temperature driven."

Wishing to prolong the life of ma SA-DA8, I used an old computer power supply and muffin fan. Plugged the PS into the controlled AC output of the amp, and the fan into the PS. Jumpered the "power-on" pins of the PS. Laid the fan on top of the amp, padded with some foam tape, and it now stays a lot cooler (and the fan is very quiet, though not silent.)

Frigidaire freezer that will not get colder that -5 to -7 C. I replaced thermistor, defrost thermostat and control panel. A repair tech has said the compressor is good. what I am missing?
you may need a check Freon level to see if its low , usually if u have low Freon level you can touch the condenser fan rails and they should be cold because when it has Freon and it liquefies into gas it creates heat hence the coils will then get warm and hot, if they are hot or warm it may not be a low Freon level issue? I would also check the freezer thermistors , see pics there may be more than 1 thermistor in freezer section , u can also check the compressor ur self to verify as not all appliance techs are reputable or knowlagable

Cooling fan/ Radiator indicator
I would recommend first to check the coolant level. If the coolant level is too low it can cause the fan to run if it detects too low of a coolant level. Also, the low warning can be a result of a low level. Make sure to check the level with the engine cold, and not running.

I've had the Tonebone Plexitube since January of this year, but have only played through it a couple of times. I recently took it out to really experiment with it and get to know the pedal. Right away I noticed this insanely loud hissing when I took it off true bypass onto channel 1 and 2. I took the pedal out of the chain to isolate it, and the hissing seeped through the true bypass a bit. I messed with the guitar and amp's tone knobs, and when the treble was at 0 it took the edge off the noise, but was still present. Even when I did fiddle with my guitar's tone knob it picked up the sound of the pot rotating (I tried this on multiple guitars and amps). With the guitar volume at 0 the hissing was still present. I took it to my teacher and he attempted to switch the tube out for another, but Radial makes it a real ***** to get at the tube so we didn't bother. Could you please help me fix this problem? - Luke
It sounds like somehow the pre-gain is very high while the volume or post-gain is very low. Try turning the volume high on the effects unit and the gain low, and don't have the amp volume too low either.
