Rgaze911 Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi there, I recently found/acquired something in the early 90s Cyrus range - a 1990 Cyrus tuner. It is great aside from the LCD backlight which means the display is partially in the dark. On hearing something rattling around I took the cover off and found an errant bulb that had broken off the back of the LCD unit as per the pics below. I am wondering how this could best be repaired - a possible option would be to retrofit some LCDs in place of the original bulbs. Aside from this, the unit sounds great and there is something of a simplistic charm about an analogue tuner. What I also need is some sort of FM aerial. Currently I am just hooking it up to the house roof aerial, which works OK but I assume a dedicated FM roof aerial would work better. As you can see I am building a system based on a blend of recent/new Cyrus products (+ a Chord Qutest DAC) and also some of the legacy products from the 90s.

Steever Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 (edited) Hi Richard. Make contact with Tim at Tuned in Audio in Sydney. He was the head tech/engineer at Crestmore who was the previous Cyrus importer before the current mob. I've had him service and modify a few of my newer Cyrus pieces over recent years and he's very good. He works on all sorts of gear (he currently has a subwoofer of mine) and would likely be able to fix this issue quite easily. [edit] just spoke with him and he has the bulbs in stock.
