Just an update here... This morning JVC research did come through. I got a 7
page fax with
two pages of diagrams and 5 pages of parts list. Took them about 10 days. I
located the
part and ordered it, $28.00 dollars, all said and done. I was getting several
responses,
like one from Tritronics, that said "
Due to the age of this model the research information and/or replacement parts
that you
requested are no longer available."
You're right Jim about the boneyard junkers. Often times it's something that
you should
just replace new anyway and that saves on call-backs or re-works. I used to
keep a much
larger collection than I do these days and I too have broken it down to known
good modules
or parts and just a few rare mechanical things.

Subject: [TechAssist] Bummer in the boneyard
hello all;
I would like to share an epiphany I had about the efficiency of the
"boneyard".
I might have been able to help William with his JVC junker request had
he posted
it two weeks ago. I have since tossed out countless audio and TV items
from the warehouse.
Why? About a month ago, I decided to time how long it took to find what
one was looking for
in the boneyard ( if it got found at all).
The average was 20 minutes!!! Worse yet, the part was usually some
odd-ball resister, or a
timing cap. All of which are better off purchased new, if one considers
the lost labor time during the
"hunt".
Ergo, I have made the decision to get rid of everything less than a
known good chassis.
Just my take on the situation...comments?
