I recently picked up a Spec 2 off CL that is not functioning. The protection light was on when I bought it, so I knew it had some kind of issue.
The first time I powered it up, the relay clicked a couple of times, but the protection light never went off.
The next time I powered it up, the Relay clicked after a few seconds, the light went out, then about 5 seconds later it clicked again and the light came back on.
I powered it up again and the relay never clicked.
I am thinking that perhaps the caps that power that circuit my be bad because the unit is pretty old. I haven't pulled the cover off yet, but I was contemplating doing a full recap.
I am not super experienced, but I have done a recap on a few other receivers....
Any suggestions would be helpful, I do have the original schematic as well.
