    test shows that 2030A is not working properly, will look for a replacement, if I can only get a four pin equivalent would I presume that the earth pin would be missing?

    Now, be realistic. New Zealand has only four million inhabitants so there aint a lot of electronic suppliers. My local one is 15 miles away, the next one is 40 miles away. If the local one hasn't got it then I'm plumb out of luck! :D

    [QUOTE=CocaCola;1516064]You don't chose parts by leg count alone, that only identifies the package not what is inside the chip ;) What are the numbers on the the chip, that will identify the chip... Yeah, I know that but the identification letters of TDA 2030A and SCS 88640 meant nothing to...

    There is an integrated circuit with about 5 legs shown in the photo. this is likely to be the audio amplifier. If you get the details of this, you can check whether there is the correct voltage on each pin (do not short pins together) and you can find the output. This will go through a large...

    Thanks for that info, will start poking around shortly. On of the back of the chassis is a socket labelled DC12v. (bottom right hand side of the picture) I presumed from the start that this was a means of running the amp off 12v. Now the penny has dropped that since there was no switch...

    amp 2 I can just imagine the disdain on your face when you read my query! I should have guessed that would happen and thought out my question a bit better! Here is a bit of background about me. I'm 83 years of age and have earned my keep as a fireman, wireless operater, musician, pilot, painter...

    I have gained an amp made by HBA Electronics of Napier New Zealand and they seem to have gone out of business. The make of the amp is STINGA and it is a 50 watt guitar amp.It should (and did) work on 240v AC and 12v DC when I got it a month ago. There were several places where some terrible...

    But, as has been said it's take a little knack (or experience) to crack it open without damage... Thanks but I'm scared poohless after the last few letters!..... I don't ususally give up on things, I've challenged quite a few of the "impossible" things in my life and am still here to boast...

    Thanks for your efforts but the PB190 is like me long in the tooth, it has had a hard life as portables do. There is no mouse hole, I ripped it out a couple of years ago when that area had a mass of faults and I had to rewire the power supply by cutting out the socket and replacing it with a...

    ] With this you can use 2 ps/2 keyboards at once. Read all the info on it. AHA, thanks for that, ideal answer. If my trigger device doesn't work I'll fall back on it. Trouble with dealing with US is that their postal rates are frightening! By the time the price is converted to NZ dollars and...
