T+A A1530 power amp needs repair AS-IS

SOLD

I am posting this here because this unit needs a repair but will post to other sites later if I don't get hits here.

When powered on, the left and right speakers pop and there is no sound coming from the speakers. That's all it does.

Again, the amp powers up. I talked to T+A Germany and this is what they said and I quote.

"The pop noise that is being complained about indicates an offset in the audio signal. There must be DC voltage in the audio signal. It is somewhat unusual that this is audible on both channels. In this case, there must either be something wrong with the unit's power supply or the offset control of the power amplifier circuits is not in order".

The unit has some scratches here and there, it is door/lid does not close all the way but this is only related to the small plastic mechanism not holding the door/lid. The bottom metal feet have thin plastic stickers that are missing, easiest fix. If you must need more photos, I will take them for you.

Again, the unit has few scratches but no busted corner or huge dings or similar.

Please make an offer as I have no way of knowing what is worth the way it is. I know that the MSRP was $7500 like 12 years ago and they go for $1500 on used market.

Will ship anywhere but it is pretty heavy so shipping won't be cheap. My zip is 33326.
