Broken Mcintosh Meters


I just picked up a Mcintosh MC2125 and discovered the meters don't respond when music is playing (back lights are fine).

I've been scouring the Internet for a description on how to repair, but have yet to find anything to help.

Can anyone provide some instruction as to what needs to be replaced in order to fix the unresponsive meters? I'm living on student loans, so sending it to Audio Classics or anyone else isnt a possibility..

You'll need to determine if the meter itself is physically bad or the circuit driving it.

If you've got any sense of adventure, the first step would be to remove the cover and make sure a connection hasn't come loose.

Beyond that, you'll need test equipment, experience with electronics and probably a service manual.

If you're not capable, don't know anyone who is and don't have the funds for a service visit, you're probably stuck. At that point just be happy the unit plays and it's just a visual effect that's broken.
