I got both of these as a Christmas presents from my brother (Aka Wolverine) I had to address an intermittent left channel and do a general deox. My brother said that he cleaned the controls already, but that he may not have gotten to the pots very well. As you can see, taking off the panel behind the faceplate allows easy access to all of the switches/pots. The intermittent channel issue went away...yeah. Easy layout on the amp as far as getting to things.
I also set the bias current as per the service manual. It was laid out in an easy enough fashion that even I could figure it out. Both channels are set perfectly. The faces cleaned up perfectly as both units were near mint to begin with. I was amazed at the layout of the tuner. I can see why this is a TOTL tuner. Not a single 5" x 5" circuit board and a lot of empty space on this guy.
Anyway I can now start to move stuff around and hook these units up to my real speakers. Everything went well on the test bench. The tough decision now is what goes out of the house. My new rule is for every piece that comes in one goes out.
