Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 Repair Help


Hi All,

I just purchased an obviously used Electron Kinetics Eagle 2 amp serial number 774 and I am super psyched to finally own a John Iverson design.

Before plugging it in I opened it up. It looks nasty in there! Looks like both capacitors (both 80000MFD) are leaking, and that there was a serious short at the RCA outs. Also it looks like the top lid has been bent in enough to make contact with the terminals of the capacitors.

www.eagle-audio.com seems to be out of commission. Does anyone out there know of a dependable repair guru for these amps? Does anyone have schematics or a list of parts that I can purchase and try to fix this thing myself?

Does anyone know more about these amps and John Iverson.

Please be in touch!

Best,
Brett

Just my opinion. I owned 2 different Eagle 2s and found them to be excellent subwoofer amplifiers, but were just ok running them full range. They were both quite bullet proof, and I was proud to have owned them, but, unless you can repair them at a reasonable cost, and you paid little for your particular unit, I caution to do it. It's power supply was the finer part of it, so maybe a complete rebuild, rather than a repair, is in order. You will never get your investment back if you ever resell it. This, again, is jmo. Enjoy !

To the OP, I am sorry if what I said was not what you wanted to hear. Enjoy ! MrD.
