Recommendation Repair Technician

I would fix this myself but I have not yet figured which end of the soldering gun you put the solder on :)

Wharfy, you are so respectful to him. You are a gentleman and I thank u. Th u for honoring him.

@geworthomd -

Bigkidz is a contributor to this discussion board and is a partner in a well-respected audio tech company in NJ. He has modified and built audio equipment for many A’goners. Get in touch with him and discuss your situation. I think I know your amp and it is definitely worth keeping.

Good luck to you!

The hardest part of a repair is usually diagnosis.  Since you know the failure, buy a bunch of spare parts and learn to install them yourself.  then when it blows you'll be back in service 45 minutes later.

Not. The owner’s initials are TO. May you please not post it?  Respect for his name associated with the RIP quality. Surely his family would appreciate it. I would not ask someone to improve one of his amps but I would ask if someone could improve “an amp” overload protection. Th u

Spectron is closed - wondered if your amp was Spectron.

What is the amp?

Thank you ellajeanelle. May you point me in the direction of one of those programable-type sequencer models?

Thank you dekay. I will call them. 

Audiophile1, jwpstayman, off-track, non-helping, trolling replies like this are expected on some forums I guess, though Tammy’s Audiogon usually has higher quality replies than this. I guess I’’l play anyway:  The owner /designer is R.I.P. , covid. I did not mention his name out of respect. You would all know it and the quality of his products reviews. I don’t want to change. The product just needs a better overload protection. My choice, right. One bad nail discards the whole box? I would be married 20x by now. I am a jerk some days…most days.

Spectron?

@geworthomd that’s some amp you got there. Sounds like a winner. If I were you I’d start a thread asking for recommendations on something with similar sonics and better design and reliability. 

Let's see - awful amp design and the company closed its doors.  Anyone else see a connection?  Why would you seriously want to keep and use an amp for "a very very long time" when it self destructs due to poor design?

Have you considered a timing relay unit/switch sequencer so that the amp is the last thing that turns on and the first thing than turns off? These can be programed to turn on and off in whatever order and delay you choose and are fairly inexpensive.  As far as speaker wires touching where they shouldn't you just have to be careful and trim them accordingly.
