Derek92994's 700 Ser II White Oak conversion

I think they are going for 7.00 here Darc...haven't checked in awhile though..
A few emitter resistors wouldnt hurt. Ya got picos right?
 
Yeah got picos. I will place an order soon, if you think of anything else that may be needed please let me know. Going to get a pizza then I will put the wopl back in the cabinet. Scotch, pizza and audio bliss

Been running the amp daily for a couple of days. I heard a pop before but dismissed it as a CD artifact. Heard a much louder pop just now, the amp continued to play music for the few seconds before I hit the power switch. This time it seems nothing blown, powered it up and down about 3 times, relays click, all normal (speakers disconnected just in case). Its making me nervous, so I will go back to spare amp tonight, and await further advice. :mad:
George (pennysdad) mentioned the transformer as a possible culprit, just throwing that out there, I personally have no idea myself.
Repair History: Rev D board replaced with Rev G1, 2 outputs (95’s, right channel) and 2 fuses replaced on 2 separate occasions, same symptom, loud pop from speaks.
 
I should also mention one of the main caps has a dent in the bottom of it but it has run fine for 6 years.
 
Ok, get it opened up Darc. Power on and start feeling the heatsinks on on the predrivers and MPSA 42's...NOT the low voltage power supplies, they run hot anyway...
 
2 or 3 amp would help if you do experience a short while testing instead of the 5 .

Click to expand...

ok where are these components?
 
The TO-220's laying oin the back lower part of the driver board, the 42's are the 3 small ones in a row....
And then take low voltage measurements on each side...from the test points.
 
I will go purchase some 2 or 3 amp fuses, they also have to be agx?
 
Should have. I will go to jaycar electronics.

i think i have found the parts you want me to test, pictured below. I will use a thermal gun.
