EAR 834P - Sale or try and repair...
I have an EAR 834P and the volume is decreasing on the left channel. I opened the case and the tubes appear fine. However, there is some browning on the breadboard on one wire (coming from the toroidal power transformer), to the single phase bridge rectifier, and resistor (breadboard: P5, D3).
I have done some simple soldering (ex., DIY bottlehead amp) just not sure about diagnosis this issue.
Otherwise, I plan to post it on the forum for sale. Just hate to take a loss on the price if it is a simple part replacement.
If you're considering having someone fix it, I'd recommend emailing Mitch Singerman at itchmay1@yahoo.com He knows the 834P very well. He fixed mine and did a wonderful job on it. I can't recall exactly what the issue was with it, but when I eventually sold it, the new owner just raved how wonderful it sounded. |
