    PL-400 series ii issue

    Well, the good news is your transformer appears to be good. laatsch55 said: Does it do it everytime it warms up? Freeze spray is exactly what you need if is what Joe thinks it is.. (can use OfficeMax compress air might be cheaper) and buy a Harbor Freight Infrared Laser Thermometer and check...

    PL-400 series ii issue

    That's new to me, might be that the caps are reforming , might want to bring it up slowly w a bulb tester or low voltage. And that Joe said ***** , I like the 400 ll and 700 ll the boards work ok until you open them up . I check all wires and solder joints and traces than all the wires to the...

    WOPL 400 Down Under

    Than I would visually check your board to Gene Board The resistor on D8 might be causing heat to your Output Transistors since its part of the Bias circuit? Joe why would some one do this and what would it do or cause? could check diode's and remove resistor? (take a diode from your other board...

    WOPL 400 Down Under

    I would definably take a tooth brush and Isopropyl and clean the board and only Scrap the board not the solder joints or traces w a small screwdriver to remove the old flux (bottom left looks bad might have open trace on the board) and check all the foils that go to the next component (Buzz...

    WOPL 400 Down Under

    No should be the same, I would questline it (but it might work) and one is NPN and the other is PNP Also there is a resistor in parallel to d8 on both channels Left is 3.8k and right is 1.5k. No, this is part of the bias (I would check the each diode D6,D7,D8 and all together note- if I have the...

    phase linear 400

    Defiantly do what Gorge said Inspect the Board , Very Good Links Can you post the other side of the Board? mainly the trace were the contacts go. (Round section) I have used a Screwdriver as a buss bar / sw , to turn things On/Off and for testing

    Good points so put the meter in Buzz mode and touch the probes together and see it makes a sound?

    phase linear 400

    Ok My test would be to 1. Rotate it pushing hard in 2. than Rotate Hard pushing out 3. up or down and see if theirs a pattern good luck and this might help when taking it apart (looking for something)

    phase linear 400

    Does it have a Power on/off button? If yes take it apart and clean the top and bottom pads - on/off than take a pic I dont know what kind you have ,,,, I have move pads to test it and push it to see if it works. do at your own risk.

    Voice of the People Survey!

    Joe Is this all or nothing? or would you sell the old one to or till you run out? or both If you do go SMT How many of the old boards do you plan on selling? I like the vintage stuff because it is old school and I can work on it w/o a microscope.

    Is that good or bad?

    Power switch mod?

    My off on Switch (typical) but is hooked to a Power strip, My whole system turns on w the Denon AVR Other option are w Remote control (Current is a factory)

    Power switch mod?

    I posted it on Genes Thread Lol. I did Modify the Board I increase the resistance of Thermistor Resistor NTCI to Make it go slower until its full on. I started using Ailexpress since I started having problems w E-bay. I bought this one because they were about the same prices so why not buy the...

    Power switch mod?

    I just put together 2- Soft starts. Wow what a different ( no more nuances trips)

    Power switch mod?

    And check The + - for Dc Voltage for Both speakers if you don't have a DCP before hooking speakers up (min) Oldskoolfan Looks Good and Good luck
