I replaced the 10K resistor with 2x 22K resistors (44K)
The volume increased nicely on slotconnector and rca output.

Did you insert two resistor in the place of the R41? I mean, two resistor in the same point.

Yes in serie so the total resistance is 44K

Hi, If you connected them like this:
/---[===]---\
\---[===]---/
then you will get 22KOhm/2 = 11KOhm
If you did it like this:
---[===]---.---[===]---
Then you will get 22KOhm + 22KOhm = 44KOhm
It doesn't matter really, since you did resolved your problem

Hey JP, can you please put some photos of your hack? I mean I do have issues with volume with Philips NMS-1205 unit, and all is great with Toshiba MSX Audio...

Erm... I recall something about resistors in the Philips NMS8250 series model (so that's the 8250, 8255 and 8280). It had two resistors on the upper PCB which were incorrect, thus causing a sound malfunction. E.g. you won't hear the PSG when you've plugged a FM-PAC in. Or you just barely hear it. Maybe Repair-Bas knows more about this.

Any chance you recall precise marking for those resistors on the pcboard?
I'm moving on to do some vicious upgrades on my NMS 8255 soon, first I have to expand memory in all my Sony machines from 64 to 512KB, as per maximum supported my S1985... |

want a mixer? got one, but i don't know it's working... Buy a little behringer mixer, for about 60 euro's you'll have a 4 channel mixer..
