Hello po.

Ask lang ako kun saan kaya pwede ipa-repair. Yun right na VU meter hindi na gumagalaw otherwise ok pa naman yun stereo.

Thanks

The CQ-TX5500W "Bb Tube". That's kinda rare.

To your question, if it's a minor problem like a loose connector or a cold solder, a careful techie should be able to fix it. If the VU meter winding is burnt, I doubt if it can still be remedied. I would try to contact the relevant division at Panasonic if they can sell you the part.

How is the SQ from that beauty? Do the tubes live up to the expectation?

I'm no audiophile by any stretch pero I'm happy enough to keep it through the years.

I can only describe the sound as clear. Bass is decent but not for bass heads though. Maybe it would sound better with a small sub? It is hooked up to a pair of focal 6.5seperates at a couple of dls 2way 6x9 ovals sa rear (90's na 90's ano? hehe��). Yun kasi ang kasya sa stock opening ng Navara.
