Tenn Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I have a old SAE (1984) system Amp Pre-Amp Tuner sounds good to me But one channel on the speakers cuts out I just touch the volume and it kicks back in is it worth fixing or trash it I was checking on E bay and SAE stuff still goes for a pretty good price I have been using it in the garage anyway???

Wardsweb Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 What is the model number? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynnm Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 I would think that the problem is nothing more than a dirty volume control and therefore repair seems like a reasonably simple and cost effective option.

Tenn Posted December 30, 2003 Author Share Posted December 30, 2003 Model # of Amp is SAE TWO P-10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardsweb Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 The SAE TWO line was done after Morris Kessler had sold SAE to the Japanese. The first SAE TWO were designed and made by Marubeni (now bankrupt) and another vendor (Inkel) had to be found. These are not anything like the original Mark or Computer Direct-Line series. They were modular and were price driven to try and create a more mass market appeal. They are nice units on the level of a Pioneer, Kenwood or Sony, to name just a few. They lost their niche high end market. This proved to be the downfall of SAE, which was then sold to DAK for liquidation. Your problem sounds like a dirty/oxidized volume pot. Buy a good contact cleaner with lubricant and give it a good squirt. Should be fine after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I know, the A205 was one of, if not the very last, SAE model to be built by the company before they went out of business. It was a mediocre amp...nothing like the SAEs of old.
