KevinG 12 Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 I bumped into your site this evening after having an M1.0t throw a curveball at my 60 years of experience with power switches. (The contacts open to turn the amp on!) I know, you already know I had my own shop for 8 years in New Haven, '72-'80, Factory service for Sherwood, HK, Nikko, Onkyo, Fender, Gibson, Moog, Infinity, Hitachi basically anything sold in Southern Ct. Then tech at Tech Hi-Fi, Service Manager-Head Tech at Absolute Audio (4 stores), Sounds Alive (7 stores) fixed VCRs for a couple years then 20 years of PCs, Phew! Retired now, part time back to fixing the same stuff I was factory service for in the '70s and '80s at the local record store. I even took in 2 pieces with my old store's stickers on them, I gave 'em a 3 month warranty on the work, I guess 40+ years means I did OK. I remember being Carver service at Tech Hi-Fi but they weren't selling Cubes, no magnetics, or if they did, nobody broke one. If I can't figure this M1.0t out in a day or 2 I'll be back, well heck, I'll be back either way. Thanks for letting me in Kevin G 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinG 12 Posted March 17 Author Share Posted March 17 I'd like to take this opportunity to say thank you to all who welcomed me to the forum. On a side note, regarding the reason I stumbled into the doorway....... The M1.0t I was looking to repair is waiting to hear back from the customer, to see if he wants to pursue the repair. I found one shorted output, a 2SB1163, and the triac which refuses to pass current and reads 90ohms from the gate to T1....T2 is open to both pins T1 and the gate. I set up a quick test jig and it wouldn't light my lamp. I saw one on eBay for $40. We'll see what the customer wants to do Then there is the issue of do I replace one output or the entire stack....I can get 2 used Matsushita for about $10 I'll take pics and let you all know how it came out, I assume the customer will OK the repair Thanks again Kevin G. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
