      From: @noway.com              After spending the weekend up to my elbows in this receiver it is       playing beautifully through both channels and the left channel hasn't       cut out since I reseated the output transistors, which I am hoping is       what was causing the problem, because that means I fixed it.              To Tim Schwartz, I can see how the speaker switch may have been causing       the problem since it is between the main amp and the speakers, and if it       crops up again I will go to that next by jumping around it. I know it       isn't the relay because I jumped that and the problem persisted. And       looking back at the last time I posted about this 3 years ago I pulled       the relay and buffed the contacts with exceedingly fine wet/dry sandpaper.              And thanks to Dave Platt for the tip about playing a 100Hz tone to probe       for AC voltages. That was a real point in the right direction for me.              All in all, I learned a lot this time around. I may even try to       resurrect that Harmon Kardon 930 a friend of mine gave me a while back.       It eats 3 amp speakers fuses in one channel.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
