Default Repairing vintage Philips 7871 receiver

On 4/3/2009 3:45 PM sickrick spake thus:

i think the pot itself is fine: the same pot controls the right channel
which sounds fine...are you guys saying the pot itself is stereo? there
are 6 pins on the pot


"The pot" is actually 2 pots ganged together mechanically, one for each
channel. Each pot has 3 connections; the outer connections to the
resistance, and the center "wiper" that gives you the variable
resistance. It's possible that one of the 2 pots is bad.

Made From Pears: Pretty good chance that the product is at least
mostly pears.
Made With Pears: Pretty good chance that pears will be detectable in
the product.
Contains Pears: One pear seed per multiple tons of product.
