LC575 Repair?
Posted by: thxkbye on 2020-03-29 10:29:43
Anyone know a good shop or someone that can repair a LC575 board?   I bought a Performa LC575, it did not survive shipping, but the logic board seems to be ok except one spot of corrosion and a missing cap or resistor (see pics).   I plan to put this in my CC.   Its a hard to find board id like to put it in the hands of an expert, unless someone thinks this is something I could do myself, I am ok with an iron...   Would need to know what i need to replace.

Thank you!

In my experience, LC575 boards do not  need a recap as much as some others. I had several here up to a couple of years ago that I sold on, and all I did was wash them for peace of  mind, dry, and after that, every one of them worked as intended, sound and all. The 575 lb in my CC is still going strong on that basis. Don't know why.

Anyone have a LC575?  I need to find out what is missing at L4 and C23. See the attached pic, thanks!

I have a motherboard and some other spare parts from a 575 that you can have for only cost of postage. Please email me your address. My email is below...

Did you receive the motherboard OK? Did it do you any good?

Yes, I did thank you so much!  I was able to get the board working, I still have some work to do on the analog board and LSU but that will be easy. Thank you so much!
