Hello all,
I collect old solid-state amplifiers and recently rented will problem with my CAS 2. I have only owned it for two months, and it worked great until today. While demonstrating it for friend of mine, I suddenly smelled the odor of burning carbon resistors. This was preceded by a little bit of distortion which I presumed was in the 50-year-old recording I was listening to.
Upon opening up the cover, I found that one channel had about six burnt carbon resistors on the board. To actually got hot enough to melt the solder a drop off the pad. As this had become one of my favorite amps very quickly, I would really like to fix it.
I am looking for any suggestions on what to look at, and perhaps a better schematic that has been loaded on this form previously.
Any help or suggestions would greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dale
