Guest guest Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 Hi Jim, Unfortunately, the electronics repairmen in Anchorage, did not want to work on the amp since they were not an authorized repair place. I would think they would want to make the money, but I am glad I have a husband and son who are very good with this kind of thing. Otherwise, I would have spent a bundle sending it out. I have taken the top off of the amplifier a few times to replace the fuses, but doing this repair was a lot more tricky as we had to literally unscrew the fan and parts off of the circuit board in order to get to the potentiometers which rather then just plugged in was soldered onto the circuit board. It is funny, when my son was a little boy, I would go to the Salvation Army and buy old broken VCRs and Amplifiers and give him a screw driver and pliers and for a few bucks that would keep him entertained for days. I guess not buying him the usual toys might have paid off as he now builds computers and has fixed my VCRs and CD players for me and is the head of the IT department at an Air Cargo company. > > > > > > > > I bought the Doug Coil from Levy. He provides really really detailed instructions (for the lyme brain) with the machine plus great customer service. I usually set my machine at 13 amps because the coil will last longer. He does not require this. I asked him about it and he said 15 max but lower is fine. However that does weaken the power somewhat. Some of what you said Tara are apparently not concerns with my machine. I turn the amps fairly slow but definitely not 8 secs of time to do it ( says VERY slowly but I think I go faster than VERY). My gain knobs are always full on position as instructed by in his operating manual. So I do think they are slightly different. Or maybe it is just preference by the maker of the machines. I assume everything is running properly. Nothing has exploded yet. It did by accident turn up my amps before setting the capacitor switches and my gain knobs went crazy. It took me a > > > > little while to realize what I had done and I freaked out thinking the machine broke. I don't think there was any damage but I never did that again. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
