Title: Sony TA-5650 integrated amp and ST-3950SD tuner
Post by: bmwr75 on January 09, 2010, 07:11:51 PM

Picked these up locally the other day.  They are 1970s vintage.  Both the amp and tuner play fine.  Tuner seems a little over sensitive to knob movement.  Have heard the amp needs a couple of diodes replaced or when the existing ones go bad they take out the VFETs.  A recap is probably also in order.  Anyone reputable work on these locally?
