Hi All,
Got myself into a bit of a pickle, I made the mistake of listening to this amp with out replacing all the psu caps.
And as fate would have it, something failed which may have caused a output transformer to fail as well.
Needless to say, I need to figure out what to do about it.
Does anyone,
know how to rewind a transformer such as this?
Perhaps know of an affordable shop that can do the job?
Maybe have one or two in a box of parts?
know the technical specs of this part , If so I might find a external source such as mouser electronics or digikey ?
One guy I emailed wanted over 5 bills, for a 60 dollar part.
If mac labs doesn't have them anymore I may be forced to part out or something even more drastic, retro fit a pair of eico st-70's transformers.
Before I take such a leap, is there any reason why I couldn't do the job myself.
after all it's just turns of wire on a bobbin....
All in all I am a bit disappointed, these amps are touted as being bullet proof. so much for touts'...
