I was a little discouraged when I discovered a niggling problem with the
quartz lock feature of my latest thrift store find: a Technics SA-222
Receiver. It got great reception in Mono, but no reception in stereo.
It bothered me because the vintage Technics receiver has a small form
factor, is easy to attach to speakers, and puts out the perfect amount
of power for a bedroom system. Fortunately, the miracle of the Y Cable Splitter gave me an idea!
However,
as the old cliche goes, when life hands you lemons make lemonade. I
came up with a solution that would make Jeff Foxworthy proud. He once
joked that you might be a redneck if your good television sits on top of
your old television. Well, I guess the same might go for stereo
receivers. I set a simple GPX dorm room stereo on top of my Technics
Receiver.
The GPX gets radio in stereo. It also can get input from my record player.

Hello, I managed to fix the problem with my SA-222, that played only FM mono. You need to set VR301 to the correct position. That was all I had to do. Problem fixed, FM is in STEREO. :-)
