Thanks Anders, it is an incredible amp.UPS have to look again
On the 2. look, the XLRs in the pic are input and link.
The thing is that back in the dayes XLRs where also used as speaker out, only when the power amps got so powerfull that they became a life threatening danger something was done to protect against electric shock and the XLRs went away.
So it seems you are stuck with the wire problem, my sugestion would still be to make an adapter but from some spade terminals to somthing that is easy to coneckt into. That way it will be much more easy for you to cycle the amp in to different systems, but of curse you might also need som wheels under this beast.
BTW. Mark this is a fantastic amp, I am waiting to hear the result of the battle between the MX and this one (my money in on the MX).
The recording studio's tech recapped the amp within the last 2 years.Cool nudes (and clean too)! My stack overflowed looking at all the connectors on the pcbs.
How do the caps look? Whenever I open an amp for the first time I take a nice pic and note all the caps that could be marginal. Are the caps 105c or 85c?
Judging from the amount of heatsink grease, I'd wager the outputs were replaced at some time. Just another thing I'd probably clean/replace after I found a service manual.
If you plan on doing any work on this beast, I'd *strongly* suggest getting a lazy susan work table that can handle 200lbs. No sense scratching up the amp or wrecking the kitchen table (been there - done that)
Sweet score and congrats!
Thanks for confirming my hypothesis Anders. I was stunned when the amp arrived and realized that it could be a 101M in disguise!Mark I looked a bit into it and can confirm that the layout of the PCB on the PC5002 seems to be the same as on the 101M.
You sertently did find the holy grail in disguise, the main difference will properly be paper work and looks.
2x666W@8ohm kind of makes the MX look week
PS. No I do not hide a 101M in the closet, but I do wish I did - where is santa when you need him.
Do any have the MSRP of the 5002 and the 101? It's a bit strange since in Germany the MX was 2x the price of the 101, but in Japan it was the other way around.

I haven't listened to it yet. I'm waiting on the spade connectors I ordered from Parts Express. They should arrive by this weekend.How did this monster sound

I'd hoped to get some good nudies but my "helpers" have all been otherwise occupied. When I get a hand I'll pull the bottom cover to show the transformers and filter caps, and remove the heat sinks to show the 10 pairs of Sanken transisters per channel.
