Genesis APM-1 Plate Amp Repair or Replacement


My second plate amp died, rendering my speaker system usless.
Does anyone have an idea on how I can save these wonderful, useless speakers? PLEASE!!!

Thanks

Fgalea: If what Tpreaves says to check doesn't work, contact Rick Cullen at Cullen circuits. Google them. They're in Paso Robles, CA. I had one amp fixed by them, Rick personally told me he either designed the amp or the circuits for the amp (I don't remember.) And the service turnaround time was great. Really good people. (they check their emails and respond very promptly.) Good luck!
Tpreaves: Do you know where i can get the manual for this speaker? I've been looking for this for about 2 years! Can't find it dude!
Thanks!

Tpreaves: I started looking by contacting the website you described above. Evidently, when the old Genesis went under or switched hands, or whatever, the new Genesis (the current one) got no papers for the older models. So I searched and searched the web to no avail. Then, a fellow 'goner told me that he had a friend that had a copy and would work on getting it over to me. That hope went unanswered as well. But check this out: Today I got a private message from another 'goner telling me to contact Cullen Circiuts! They're supposed to be able to help me with the manual, too! Go figure! I will do just that!
Thanks, everyone!
Happy Listening!

Tpreaves: Speakers are fixed and singing and humming as usual. But now I am waiting on Rick's response to see if he has the manual.

Orale!!!

Tpreaves: I think I may have made it sound like i had two concurrent issues. Both of my plate amps went out: one 2 yrs ago and another about 3 months ago. But I have been looking for the manual since I bought them used about 2.5 years ago. I had one amp fixed by sound ideas in florida.
When the 2nd amp went out, their tech that worked on my first amp no longer worked there. So I posted here again.
And that's when I was referred to Cullen. BTW, Rick responded this morning and he doesn't have access to that manual. I forget what the issue was with the first speaker. But I had a blown fuse on the 2nd. Still looking for that manual, guys!
Again, I started with Genesis for the manual for this speaker. They don't have it.

Thanks!

Fgalea: While I can't offer you help on the generic tower speaker, I can't believe Rick still has your plate amp. From the time I sent him mine to the time he sent it back, I think 5 or 6 days had lapsed. Have you given up on the repair?
