  I have seen damage very similar in many other Carver amps typically in TFM's. They get very hot and burn boards. But that one looks like it was cooked nicely.

  Hi Jeff, that is a good idea to mount the caps on the back. I didn't mention it before, but the Zener diode D12 was also shorted. I have ordered new diodes, high temp caps, and transistors. Actually, I ordered all new caps minus the main filter caps.

  Hello!
  I have been a Carverphile since 1977, when I bought my first PL 4000. I collected PL, Carver, and Sunfire products up until around mid 2020 when I started divesting. I had the pleasure of meeting Bob twice. Once at the Chicago Summer CES show in Chicago in 1978, the 2nd time in 2007 at a local boutique AV store. I am well known across multiple pages on FB for my contributions and happy customers. I look forward to getting more involved on the TheCarversite!

  I have a Carver HRT-875.1 and it got hit the other night and a 24 unplug did not reset the unit. I like loud Rock music. So, I opened it up hoping to see a loose resistor, a black mark someplace, or some cracked solder. It looks pretty good and after putting a finger on everything it seems solid in there. What is the best direction to go from here

  Ok, so FWIW, I did receive a flood of emails BUT all of them were related to me signing in at 5:19-21 A.M. Just so you know, it wasn't me. I guess it sounds like something on the Carver end?

  Hello! I've been an inactive member for a long time. In 2008 or 2009 I was going to send my M-1.0t's to Rich P to have them upgraded, but health issues and big Dr bills changed that. Recently I decided to sell all my gear. I purchased all my Carver gear new in March 1987 (with the exception of 2 M-1.0t's that I bought new in 1991) at Team Electronics in Rapid City, SD. I was on this site to see if anyone would be interested in any of it, but I can't seem to post anything in the for sale section. Any guidance on where to try selling, or how to post would be very much appreciated. Thank you.
