Gitter Done!
Well 4seatpilot and I did some horse trading, more like - speakers, receivers and tube amp trading. Out of the deal I got this unit (plus a beautiful Marantz 1060 Engraved Face), it belonged to another ak'r who had it but due to health reasons never got around to working on it.
4seat was nice enough to double box the bloody thing and send it via family pony express.
I opened it up tonight , it's got minor dust and some cobwebs, nothing I can't clean up. I'm starting with the power board. It always amazes me on how you can tell a unit has been run/repaired. Previous owner to the AK owners got in there and replaced a bunch of caps, with crap caps- no name brand. I also discovered a cap was completely missing and relay is fried, no wonder it had issues. This thing is semi modular, I like it. Can't wait to hear it!
Tonight I recapped the one power board, replaced the relay. I've been so busy lately I accidently threw out the tip41c's I had to replace the 2 on the board. I'll keep the thread updated, take pics, until it's restored. I have all the caps less the monster caps, no need to replace.
