Common with the TFM-15's is an issue where the amp gets stuck in protection mode and a giveaway is that there is a relay involved and after power on, the 'click' of coming out of protection never happens. A search here will give you lots of info about this issue and troubleshooting these amps. Here's one to get you started:

Okay, so here is an update. What I have: Preamp CT-17 (seems to be working) Amp TFM 15 CB Amp TFM 55 CD player SD/A 360 I was trying to see what worked and didn't work. I hooked up the preamp and the TFM 15 CB to an old speaker I had and used a DVD player to play a CD and I used the tuner. It was working for two days. Then suddenly it stopped working. The power comes on to both the preamp and the amp. I googled how to test the rca going to the amp it seems like the signal is going to the amp and the signal increases as I turn up the volume knob. The TFM 15 does not seem to receive the signal. I checked the fuse in the back and it is good. I am going to try and get the amp working again before messing with the CD player. Again, I am a complete newbie so any help is appreciated, and I will look for similar issues in the past threads.

Hello all, I'm Jason and i got bit by the vintage audio bug spring of 2025 when i watched SkyLabs audio's YT vid 'We Used To Love Them! What Changed?' I ended up with what was advertised as an mxr130 but it turned out to be the 150 and all it needed was the trim cap and the display glued back to the faceplate. So i got a hold of the circuits and concepts cap kit, performance regulator, and 1 replacement knob to do a good service to it. After all that i'm here wondering about a few hot components and already finding answers, very grateful forums like this with the info we need still exist! I am a YT content creator and you'll likely see at least 3 mxr units gone through and vids posted... eventually! The 150 and a hopefully easy fix 130, but also a 2000 that blows fuses on power up or at least that was the ebay description!
