I tend to remember the last 5350 that had that issue was fixed by a re-capping. It's probably not too good for your speakers running it like that.

Hopefully it's something easy and simple for a quick fix.

I read a lot of old 5350 threads and the conclusion is that the motorboating noise is probably bad capacitors


Maybe I will tackle this repair. I know it isn't really "hard" to do, just will take a lot of time.

 

[Sazeus]

Mine made a similar but not exactly the same noise. It was all starting real slow and then gradually getting faster. But it only made the noise once or twice, it stopped doing it after a good clean out. For a while it worked ok but distorted. The recapping made it sound great.

 

[blu_fuz]

Sazeus, it must have been one of your threads that I read about the 5350 needing to be re-capped, but I can't find that post for the life of me.


Did you re-cap yourself or send it off for repair?

I can probably handle it, just need to figure out how to make time ot do it. The worst part might be trying to find all of the right capacitors, not looking forward to that.....

 

[jimmyjimmy19702010]

I've recapped a few boxes. The capacitors are still available at electrical parts suppliers. Avoid the cheapo ones though. You'll need a good solder sucker. Just do one cap at a time, observing polarity. The 5350 is a modern box and is easy to work on - basically plug and play.

I usually replace every electrolytic cap I find but don't touch the tuner board caps.
Take your time and you'll probably enjoy the experience!

James....

Thank you

Even with its slight imperfections, it is still a beauty. Congrats, Joe! I can't wait to hear it after the recap.
