Taylor K 38 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Hey guys, been scrolling though and enjoying the content so far. Just got my hand on my dad's old carver TFM-45 and a pair of Bose 10.2 seires 2 speakers. Amp is in need of work but willing to fix it. Is there a place on this site I can get some advise for fixing this beast? Dont want to post in the wrong section or anything. I want to hear what this Carver audio life is like. Thanks. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnrotten 1,070 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Welcome Taylor K. You certainly came to the right place. Where in Alberta? I have a brother in Calgary. The forum for repair of a TFM-45 would be HERE. You can also navigate there by scrolling down the home page to the Amplifiers section-> Amp Repair-> M-4.0t (also TFM-4, TFM-42, TFM-45). There is a lot of information there as well as there is the Manuals database at the top of the home page. Download the service manual and get familiar with it, including the service bulletins at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any chance he works on TFM-45's? Unfortunately no. I ran a TFM-45 for years. Now I run 2 of them. Very warm sounding as well as powerful and good looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrummerJuice 1,278 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Welcome Taylor K. Great to have another Canuck here! I lived in Calgary for 10years during the 90's. You are in the right place! Hope you get that TFM 45 repaired soon. (I've always loved those meters) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian_at_HHH 2,609 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Welcome to the Site, Taylor - always nice to have another fellow Canuck join - there are a bunch of us scattered around, here. Your dad had good taste in amps - as others have mentioned, a TFM-45 has incredible potential and will definitely set you on the slippery slope of OCCD. It's well worth getting going. For now, join in the fun, and take time to enjoy the music! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
