I just picked this up from craigslist for $135. I also got B&W DM602's and a Philips 212 turntable for $500 total.
Anywho, when I power the amp up, it takes 15+ minutes before I hear the relay click. And just before it I can hear a buzz, then click, then music.
I downloaded the service manual and I believe it's the FRL-264 part number.
I know my way around a circuit board and won't have trouble replacing any components, but because it eventually turns on, I've been enjoying this amp too much to take the time to pull the cover.
I know I need to clean the contacts and other wise clean it up internally. Outside barely needs cleaning.
I once found a thread talking about relays for this or a close model to this, but can't find it again, searching wasn't a help.
Also while I have the cover off, is there any other components that I should look at replacing, whether or not they look like they need it?
Thanks.
