After having a TX-8100 tuner sitting around I decided to locate a amplifier to go with her. - I ended up with a SA-9100 but she needs some lovin'.
It fires up, no protection problems (phew!) and works for awhile then develops the crackling pop of hell (in one channel).
Yeah, she's old and needs to get a full recap job and transistors.
So, before I get started, I want to run through a few things.
1. Should I just replace the transistors before doing anything else to see if the "crackling" issue is resolved?
2. While ordering the parts; how many of each type of transistor should I get for matching?
3. Any words of wisdom on what areas to recap in order?
Think that's it for now, mainly want to get my shopping list in order and wait for the postman to deliver.
Thanks for any/all help!!
