At the Arcade Museum Seligenstadt Germany there is a Namco Alpine Ski (huge machine with rear projection) that has a Quad amp using LM3886 one of which was shorted. AFAIK all Namco Rear projection games use this. Btw. the speakers had shorted coils, slowly killing the chips.

The recycling center here is just like Fort Knox, you can't take anything. But at least there are the e-waste collection bins in the shops, in some place you can check them out without being annoyed by the security dudes.

I don't get that myself the biggest form if recycling is REUSE if they really cared about anything other then money probably (scrap metal and precisous metals in electronic component's) they would let you take stuff. I had a friend at one many years ago he let me take stuff under the condition I would return the stuff I could not get to work and/or the rest of stuff I scavenged for parts, this was a nice "system" we had but unfortunately he passed some years ago and I don't get along with the new management. Fun while it lasted though got some good stuff.

In Germany, the definition of the word "recycling" actually is re-using the materials an item is made from, but not the item itself. But this may be different in the English language.

@@DrCassette I get that as well but if it is a simple issue it can be fixed as well (less energy used then simply melting it down to recycle the various pieces). When I had my friend he got quite a bit of goodies from people who passed and the family just tossed all of their "useless junk" in a big dumpster I got a nice Pioneer SX-1250 like this, it was 100% working just a bit of cosmetic damaged when it got thrown (literally) in a big dumpster.

I recently got this cd player from my dad and it works rather well for 25 year old gear. Some of my CDs work perfectly fine but some, including neat ones, glitch very hard (glitches from the start to a random track or time, then gets to the end or the record). It probably has something to do with the lazer lense from the info i've gathered. I'm not really familiar with electronics, but already did things that needed me to partially disassemble and reassemble a guitar amp for example. Despite me being inexperienced with such devices, should I try disassembling the thing to clean the lense a bit and see if it works? Thanks for the video by the way, couldnt hope for a better one on such a specific piece.

I was surprised to find the LM3886 powering the 8" bass driver's in my 3 way powered studio monitors from Fostex! The chip amplifiers used for the midrange and tweeter were shielded and I wasn't willing to disturb it so I didn't get to find out what they were but judging by the shape of them, they were something different.... There should be a lot of amplifier boards, possibly in kit form on eBay that you could use to make use of that IC if you chose to go that path. I'm sure that John audio tech has covered the LM3886 extensively on his channel and possibly even suggested some improvements over and above the eBay kit's... Might be worth investigating... I have salvaged plenty STK'S and other chip amplifiers like the lm3886 and TDA2030A's, they are very common but they also have a great sound to them. It would be interesting to see what you end up doing with this... I was wondering about the idea of using that power supply and amplifier in it's original case as just a power amplifier but replacing the front fascia with a piece of thicker aluminium with a power button and possibly even level meters? Apart from the face modification, all the hard work is already done by pioneer! The case is a good size and shape and actually looks pretty good! Saves you time from having to build one from scratch! And saves from sending stuff to the tip...
@DrCassette

The case is mostly made from plastic, and it is badly scratched in some places. I have much better salvaged metal cases that I can use for DIY projects... But I have done projects like the one you suggested in the past, take an existing stereo system and only keep the power amplifier section. For example: kzitem.info/news/bejne/lZqa26R-g3qKlJw

RDS is a standard developed in Europe. It has since been adapted in other places around the world, however in the US the standard has some different specifications and is called RBDS. So the reason why the US version had no RDS is because it simply wouldn't work there.
