| HELP! - Need a Repair Recommendation for my Raysonic Amp quite a few manufacturers that use a 'sacrificial' resistor as opposed to a fuse. Well, that sucks. Should I be able to see obvious signs of failure? The are quite a few resistors in there.Thanks. | |
| HELP! - Need a Repair Recommendation for my Raysonic Amp Was it plugged in properly (did it light up)? If it lit up but nothing happened, in my estimation the power transformer is off the hook. Did what light up? The lights on the face of the amp did not come on. The fuse is in the fuse holder ins... | |
