I originally performed this work for James B.
James sold the amplifier on ebay for approximately $520 on December 16, 2015.
The fellow who is currently selling the amplifier on ebay took some liberties concerning the work I did:
- Replaced all XPL909 output transistors with new TP9504 transistors (James ad copy: Replaced twelve XPL909 output transistors with twelve TP9504 transistors.)
- Replaced both 5,900UF capacitors. (James ad copy:Replaced one of the 5,900UF capacitors.)
- Total harmonic distortion: 0.06% (James ad copy: 0.09%)
NOTE: James had a limited budget for me to work with. So I wasn't able to use newer MJ series devices. The power supply capacitors are also not new.
I never "worked besides Bob Carver for years". I worked beside Dean Nissen (the last factory service manager).
