Adcom GFP-1A Recap and Refurb

[jbeckva]

Got this from Jeff o'er at BT. Sounds frigging great, but with a catch. Warming up, it'll make a major pop or two when you are least suspecting it. Got a slew of Nichicon FG's to replace, plus a few choice transistors and heat sinks for them (suspect the loose heat sinks causing the issue, but not going to keep walking wounded if that's what it is).

Off we go..

Pops are usually caused by either transistors or solder connections. Check the solder connections on those TO-126 pass transistors. "the heatsinked transistors"
