hello, 1more...thank you for your assist...but it will be better if there is a mc 425 service schematic cause both amp is different...

Oh I am no expert, but I do own a couple of them, and all of them came to me non-operational.

I don't have any info on the 425 model but I am sure they are all similar by design. The problems I found them to have revolved around leaking caps in the power supply, bad op-amps in the front end, bad solder joints on all the power devices, Blown mosfets in the power supply, and of course the problematic Power guard circuitry which I am still trying to figure out myself.

Would it be possible for you to post some pictures of the inside of your Mac? I will try to be of some help...🙂

I don't have the schematic for the 425, but McIntosh service department will have one, and they are pretty reasonable cost to get them.
