I have a Realistic receiver, model STA-2150. Works great; however, the button where you turn it on and off no longer turns off, it stays on all the time. Wondering if it just needs to be cleaned or if button is worn out and needs to be replaced, and are these things hard to check and do yourself? Also, where can I find a service manual for this? Been searching onlne. Thanks!

If the receiver is a new one (a couple of years) I suggest you don't replace the balance potentiometer. It's a potentiometer with rare use so the inner carbon film can't be destroyed. I suggest you to open the case and use a contact cleaner spray (clear, without oil) and spray direct at the potentiometer. Turn it all the way from left to right many times. When it will come dry you will see the diference. As far as the suggestion for clear (without oil) contact cleaner spray, I insist on that because the lubricating oil will cause a trap for the dust and will ask for cleaning again and again. Also for potentiometers with rare use there is no need for lubricating oil.
I think that this solution is much easier than chanching a potentiometer, since the device is not too old.
In case of a problem or clarification, don't hesitate to post me a reply.
If you are satisfied, rate my solution with the "thumbs" or (even better) add a testimonial.
Thanks and regards

Is it just with the EQ (or any other single component) in the link? Old equipment develops oxidation on various controls. Depending on physical access, tuner cleaner may help. Or take it to a shop.
hi, I have just done a search for realistic sta 220 manual and lots of results are thrown up, you need to try this as there so many results for the query.
I used bing rather than google.
