alf57 17 Posted November 25 Posted November 25 Returning in this audiophile passion I have bought two Carver amps , a TFM45 and a TFM25, in a "Only for spare parts "condition .... The 25 start runing easy after recap and relay clean , but the 45...... After some extra time (on year) I finally repair it. the failure appears after some months . Changing all output transistor and insulation pads finally don't fail any more. Really I enjoy it so much 12
