Johan's 700B in for Warranty

[laatsch55]

It appears the original, factory bypass cap on the factory, original BR went nuklar, and shorted out the AC mains fuse. Said bypass cap also vented on the pristine LED board. I desoldered the BR and checked, not shorted or open.

Now both of these items I usually change out during an upgrade....why i didn't on this one I don't know, Sooo........the warranty will be honored....Johan...split shipping and we're good.

Going back with a new 50 amp BR, bypassed with .01uf/400volt polypros.....

New Br in and soldered back up. Time for caps and power up....

 

[laatsch55]

Powered up fine with no rail fuses, added rail fuses and we're good to go. Johan , I'll shake it down this weekend and get it out Monday morning...

 

[laatsch55]

On the horns...sounding good!!

 

[laatsch55]

So.....it appears a cap can go to short and open right after taking out the AC mains fuse.....that's quite the series of events....

 

[laatsch55]

Talk to youself a lot Mr. Laatsch?? Why yes, yes I do....Not a problem....

 

[laatsch55]

That almost sounded petulant.....not intended that way...

Hey I'm reading Mr. Laatsch! BTW, why do your amps LED's always look so much whiter than mine? And I got the white Boards? Maybe it's the lighting, but I kind of like that look. Mine are more a blue-ish hue..........

 

[laatsch55]

Probably because I have a 300 watt incandescent in the middle of the basement and 2-150 watt quartz over the bench, so it's pretty bright down here....

 

[laatsch55]

If anybody else has Moby---"Play" ......does track 4 make ya leak??

 

[Fishoz]

What have you been hittin' tonite Lee??!

 

[laatsch55]

Nothing out of the ordinary.......it's just that the first few notes of that song and I start to tear up.....powerful stuff....

 

[Fishoz]

Oh...sorry. I thought you meant piss...kinda worried there for a sec.

 

[laatsch55]

Well.....it does have the closest thing to a brown note I've heard......just wait, you'll be in the master's chair soon....
