:::sigh::: Folks ..I know there are many of you folks that have "that friend" that says they do repair work but you ...those people read something online and think they're instaneously a technician . They see a you tube video and yep, I can do that ! ..NOT ALWAYS . hand skills and paying attention to detail are extremely important , as well as having an understanding of what is going on under that cover ...here I have an amplifier that was "recapped" by someone else and now there is no sound ...the solder work is extremely sloppy and the power supply board is sitting in the unit precariously about to ground out with the case of the unit ...I see issues with the frontend before I get it all apart ...folks. .first of all , it is not always necessary that your amplifier needs a "recap" ..and is it not always the solution to fixing your problem ! Please ! Just bring it in and have me look at it before you do this !! Not only will it make things easier for me to diagnose , but it will cost you much less if I work on it before someone else has their hands in it .
