Some may even loosen if you touch the component by mistake. Just remember which parts you ever touch, reposition etcWCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337139007380596106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458549096719286267.post-88134893160845274292018-11-24T04:20:42.626+08:002018-11-24T04:20:42.626+08:00Hi.

When you switch on the amp the speakers come and go with a lot of crackling and this button crackles when you turn it on and off. Doing this several times quickly seems to help but it is not 100%. Is there something I can do or is it curtains for this lovely amp? No one seems to want to repair it.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00578871658029702039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458549096719286267.post-83457664661216849982013-07-30T09:40:27.139+08:002013-07-30T09:40:27.139+08:00Apologies as do not have the list of the caps as d...Apologies as do not have the list of the caps as did not have the service manual at the time.<br /><br />Since you have the service manual, suggest you look for what are known as the "balance caps". These are for maintaining the balance and are usually traceable from the volume knob - small value electrolytic capacitor with low voltage (one for each side).<br /><br />Replacing these "balance caps" should normally restore the stereo balance in older units.WCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16337139007380596106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8458549096719286267.post-9868162036151302392013-07-30T02:24:36.092+08:002013-07-30T02:24:36.092+08:00Hi I have this AMP and have a problem.

Can you give me a list of which ones and ID the preamp board and the Power amp board. I do have a copy of the service manual.<br /><br />This may of been posted twice as I am not sure that it worked the first time.
