Greetings
My 1st post, having just come across this great resource.
Background:
I was the lucky 15 y.o. recipient of a new FH7 MkIII on a Hong Kong family holiday, back in 1985.
Man, that bad boy corralled the girls around the family pool in 1985 when cranked; what a great system. You know how this goes, as unfortunately an overseas posting had me flip it for storage challenges rather than $$ reasons, some years later. Now I realise (along with my Diamond Back Silver Streak) that I should had stood fast and kept it.
Today:
Anyway, I nabbed a tidy FH150r for $20 this week for the beach house to re-live my fond memories of the FH7; only to get it home and see the APM's have perished in the corner and have a tinny "twang" when the volume is turned up......really turned up like only an FH can do.
Are these:
i. repairable? Parts source?
ii. economic to repair?
iii. if yes to i. and ii. where can this be done?
iv. do I just hangout to find another set?
Complication:
The unit cam with a brilliant PS-Q3 LP turntable (old school, so no CD player) but the arm does not lower to the record and play......is this cactus?
Cheers
SK
(thanks for having me here)
