Hello, esp Merrylander from a Germantowner....
Just got a nice (looking, original) 820, but left channel drops out 90% after playing a few minutes. Im thinking preamp board trans? I am starting (ordering) process of total re-capping, some are harder to locate/purchase, I want to restore. Of course a couple noisy pots.
Also, as a refresh, I might like to re-transistor, as needed, pre and finals; any recommendations? Do not know equivalents. Dropout I am thinking is Preamp trans related...
I have service manual. DC is under 40mV on both channels, at speaker out.
Thanks
