As it is difficult to determine the head color, this could be a Black Vulture. They are often confused.

What's the difference?: Turkey Vulture vs. Black Vulture

I don't consider it a surprise! Just common sense! Others might see things differently.
It does make my bag a bit heavy. Just had to stop carrying a rarely used lens. The .45 is more important!
Of course. A 0.45 is a stopped down version of a 0.458 Weatherby & is hand held. Makes a great point & shoot.

What you don't understand is that the thread was originally posted in the "Main Photography Section" and was moved here after I and Billnikon made our posts.
Oops. Sorry, When I spotted it, it had already been relocated.

Several quotes -
Troubleshooting stereo equipment seems quite off topic
It's not photography so I think the admin will move it.........
This is a photography section. Does your receiver take digital images? Then be gone with you, be banished to the proper section.

What is wrong with you guys ? Are you simply not reading or just basically thick ?
This comes up time and time again and you still simply can't seem to grasp the concept.
This query was posted in "Chit-Chat (non-photography talk)" so is a perfectly acceptable subject.
Leaving aside the fact that the OP would probably get better results elsewhere (although there are some good answers here anyway) I do wish some of you would get on the right page and stop wasting my time having to read extra BS.

I am an old Sony bench tech. This is an older analog receiver.
It does not sound like it has a serious electronic failure.
A very common problem on vintage gear is oxidization of the silver coated switch contacts.
My first move would be to cycle every switch and control through all of their positions, 4 or 5 times.
Turn the volume down low. My first guess would be the 'Muting' & the 'Monitor' switch'.

Here is the Service Manual

Good luck.

No. I have one. I can control ISO and shutter time. Aperture is fixed for each lens.

With a sensor that small, it would be pointless to stop down. You would degrade contrast and sharpness with diffraction.

Smartphone cameras serve a different purpose from dSLRs and MILCs. I own the phone for the dozens of other uses I make of it, not just because it has a great point-and-shoot camera that's always with me.

If I'm doing intentional photography, I pull out my dedicated camera gear. If I'm trying to live "in the moment," I take the iPhone and try to resist getting on it unless I need to.

I can afford to buy a Mercedes but I don't think I can afford to pay for its maintenance.
Or a BMW. Both great cars but maintenance hogs.
Talk to any owner and they will tell you how they are nickel & dimed to death.
A dealer friend of mine explained that this is why so many are leased rather than purchased.

Exactly right in all respects. I bought Ansel Adam’s 3 classic books in the early 70s and the zone system was a revelation for me in “seeing” light. As the OP begins his film journey, a copy of “The Negative” and understanding the zone system would be part of a good foundation, especially when shooting B&W.

It's so funny that you say, "when I become one with my gear", that's exactly how I feel with my digital equipment and it's exactly what I want with this Hasselblad and that is exactly why I'm here. You guys and gals in this forum are directly responsible for my success with my digital photography and I will always be grateful for the help and direction. I read every response and I respond to them all. I might be a bit slow at times in responding but my goal is to never have someone take time to provide answers and advice and I not at least respond. So never hesitate to give an opinion or advice on my posts, it's always appreciated. So, many thanks to you for responding.

Please understand the my statement about 'questions' was in general and in no way meant towards yours.
It's the "I'm going to whatever. What lens or settings should I use?" that shows the lack of understanding.

Unsurprisingly, as Apple users, we have an Apple TV 4K "set top box." No complaints. It's a HUGE upgrade to our ten year old Samsung Smart TV. I get my YouTube and my wife gets her Netflix, Prime, BritBox, and other services. Once you get used to the remote, it's great. Whatever signal processing they do is FAR better than the TV ever did. The picture just pops, with better color, contrast, and far more detail.
I have a 65" Sony XBR with Apple TV 4K. The result of this combination is stunning.
It leaves all of my old video guys speechless.
Do you remember when Apple went with Trinitron monitors? In a class by itself!

Here is the link to the CR page.
I have been a Toyota guy for over 40 years. I have owned many cars from numerous countries.
If you want a highly reliable vehicle that retains its value, buy one.
We in the industry refer to Lexus as a 'Toyota with lock washers'.
