Level 1 Essentials Refurbishment:

 

  • ​Install a premium QUIET cooling fan

  • Recalibrate the +8.5V voltage regulator circuit
  • Replace the display backlight LEDs so the display is bright and sharp again
  • Replace all tactile pushbutton switches
  • Install Sony structural mods to the audio jacks if not already present (will usually be needed if serial number starts with “8”)
  • Align FM section for best sensitivity and confirm it’s well within the right ballpark
  • Install audio fidelity improvements for flatter frequency response, reduced distortion, and improved headroom
  • Replace IC 906, 1.8V Precision Low Noise Voltage Regulator (as IC 906 ages it has a very high failure rate)
