Bought an Alpine 7909 cd player
I found someone who had a pretty mint Alpine 7909 unit..
No box, but it does come with owner's manual. It was serviced by Tweeter in 2003 due to not playing CDs. After that It was used for a few months, then about a year ago he connected it on his bench and there was no audio output. Just wondering what does it mean when theres no audio output ? I hear its the DC/DC Converter, which is an easy cheap $40 fix. btw, why does it look like it has 4 preouts ?? :confused: Also, it comes with no trim ring and cage, so if anyone has one, please lemme know. http://i36.tinypic.com/rtfcsz.jpg http://i37.tinypic.com/2ngd0kw.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/2j63gpe.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/27x2res.jpg http://i35.tinypic.com/ivl4rd.jpg http://i38.tinypic.com/k9xnx2.jpg http://i36.tinypic.com/2me5w6g.jpg |
I see 3 sets of pre-outs and the last set is clearly marked "to changer". You will have front, rear, and sub outs there.

I will see once I get the cd player next week.. |
I'm so confused, we can clearly see that the rca's are labeled AND you have a picture of the owners manual, what exactly are you asking?

No sub out. And it was on this forum but I'm not sure about the line in.. It's been a while since I was lucky enough to sell mine off.

Was the 7909 a shuttle deck, or fixed? If it was a shuttle deck then you will need the correct cage that has the plug in the back of it for the harness, unless I am mistaken......

The 7909 was a pullout but Alpine offered a kit back then to make a pullout at permanent mount.

The Alpine 4913 is a super hard peice to get though ! http://i34.tinypic.com/2ztex5u.jpg |
Update
I had my Alpine 7909 looked at , they confirmed it needs a DC/DC converter inside.
Lemme know if anyone can get a new one ! thanks |
I have a 7904 sitting on a shelf that I know for a fact works!! Good era gear!!

but I took it to S&S electronics to get a second opinion |
yeah good luck with that...i got your mail on talkaudio as well. That looks like a first generation pull out conversion as opposed to the late 90s limited run anniversary decks with copper chassis. Hopefully someone will chime in with a great shop you can work with. Also contact SUX 2BU here as he is also an old school Alpine fan.

Good news !!!!
Hey, good news ! The power supply was gone on this 7909 unit, so I had the unit repaired by Chris at S&S electronics here in Toronto (www.s-selectronics.com/978/index.html). Highly hghly recommended repair shop ! WC Enterprises in Markham http://www.wcent.ca/ (Canadian Alpine authorized repair shop) said it was not repairable due to part being NLA...haha !
Sounds amazing ! I Havent heard anything this clean in car audio ever !! Even the installer was impressed , and hes been doing car audio for 20+ years... Here's some pics and a video ! Raw unedited video: http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=OzFAtTqBg1s https://i107.photobucket.com/albums/...9/DSC00291.jpg https://i107.photobucket.com/albums/...9/DSC00290.jpg https://i107.photobucket.com/albums/...9/DSC00286.jpg |

Congrats! Enjoy your '09.

Rob,
Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but do you have a part number for the transistor that s&s replaced in your DC DC converter? The transistor in mine was so badly burned that I couldn't read the numbers off of it, and the converter PC board does not have a scematic in the 7909 service manual. Thanks, Ben H. |
interesting ,i just bought a 7909 it has 3 rca ,s front rear and the 3rd to the changer \??
|
correct
