Forte Audio Model 1 - Hot on left Channel only

[Paul Pong]

I have a Forte Audio Model 1 Amp. I noticed that the left side was hot after 30 mins but the right side was cool. Both channels has sound.

Thx for nay help in advance, Paul.

The cold channel may have an open wiper on the bias pot. A number of Forte owners (including me) have seen this. Please see this thread for details.

First off, if this is new to you, it's important for your own safety (and the amp's) to heed the precautions noted in the post linked above. If you have any doubts, please get help from a more experienced person in your area. That said, here is another thread on the topic that may help.
