@Sk1Bum @Receiver2000 Next up "might" be Cruise Control, Moon Riding. Cruise Control (5) Discography | Discogs I guess it's essentially the same recording as Moonlighting with a different jacket and released in Japan. Need to think about that one.

Hello and welcome to the Carver site. If you do a search for information on the PT1250 you will find out that it is a rebadged PM-2.0t. So download that manual. In it you will find more information than just the schematics that are in the 1250 service manual. In the owners manual for the 1250, it does as @Yamacarver indicated have individual CH1 and CH2 thermal protection along with three other protections. How all this interacts is a question for someone familiar with electronics and maybe this unit. I must ask this next question so excuse me if you performed this..... Did you check the fuses, in and out of the holders? If it did indeed overheat I might be concerned about the thermal compound between the mica insulators, transistors, and the heat sinks just due to its overall age. This is the extent of my experience/advice so Good luck in getting your units working again.

@Ar9Jim Checking in to see what the progress is on the Phono Preamp?

@Sk1Bum It sure has, and its FANTASTIC!!

Oh good, I just need 8 in CDs.

Four down and one to go in the vinyl world.

@Sk1Bum Three Rippington vinyl albums are ordered !!! Thanks !!!

@Sk1Bum Are you looking at any of the ones on the link you posted?

on discogs now trying to get a few more.

Correction, have Tourist in Paradise not Moonlighting. Moonlighting is on CD.

@Sk1Bum Thanks for the search. Wow they made more than two vinyl albums. This is fantastic.

@Sk1Bum That's a hard one to find. I just have Moonlighting.

I try to get mint copies if I can but that's hard.

These are also new additions. Life in the Tropics and Brave New World.

I'm queue up some Rippingtons.

on his list Dexter Gordon, Ahmad Jamal, Cal Tjader

Just looked at his list on line and I'm sick. This is what happens when you are not on top of things. I have to hope he stocked a few of what I would want.

Ill have to give my store a visit next week with the hope he has some good stuff still available.
