Received this amp. Repaired from the previous owner.. Bad repair, anyway it seems it works. The new owner mentioned, that the amp hasn't the power it should have. Found a damaged master /slave switch.
I have oscillation at each channel..
The amp is out of the heat sink, if I apply power, the r-ground resistor starts smoking.. What can cause this? Some leaking?

Maybe a shorted input cap?Received this amp. Repaired from the previous owner.. Bad repair, anyway it seems it works. The new owner mentioned, that the amp hasn't the power it should have. Found a damaged master /slave switch.

No, I haven't measured the voltage across. I twisted a lot, maybe that was the reason . For safety I removed the rectifiers, and used a dual supply. The amp looks at this stage fine to me.. Each bank at the audio stage has a good square wave.. No smoke, no current draw..

One question about the audio part. First picture is high side gate, black probe at sec. The amplitude is a little lifted to positive rail. Is this normal, or something leaking? Second picture is low side drain.. Is normal amplitude.
The last picture is ps gate. Frequency about 28khz..should be also okay

The gate of the high-side drain has to drive 10v above the high-side source to efficiently drive the high side fully on.
If this is a battery powered scope with no connection to the mains, you can place the black probe (probe ground lead) on the high-side FET source and then you will see the high-side gate drive with none of the rail-rail waveform.
