"At one time I had the instructions for this project but I lose them.....One of the problems with these forums is it becomes about the person and not the problem...."     The, "person" had the instructions and lost them, which seems to be the only...

Crown D-150A series 2: help
The original fuse holder had a slotted cap (screwdriver needed).     That may have baffled the original owner, leading to it’s demise       This will fit the original chassis hole and make changing a fuse easier: https://www.partsconnexion.com/ACM...

My #@%$ Cat Destroyed My ARC REF 5SE. Soliciting Suggestions.
"Homeowners insurance doesn't cover repair or replacement because owning a pet means you assume liability/responsibility."      Makes sense!     After all,  whose fault is it, that you have a, "#@%$ cat" (your own description) in your house?      ...

Need expert advice re: loud pops.
If it's occurring on just one channel, see if it's emanating from the woofer.        How loudly do you listen, how big's the room, etc?      Any boost in the bottom freqs?       There is the possibility of a woofer coil bottoming.      If you stil... 
VPI HW-19 or VPI Traveler
Ask them if they ever lubed the motor and platter bearings.      One nice aspect: if you shop around, there are numerous HW-19 upgrades that can be performed at your leisure ie: SDS, SAMA, Scout platter and inverted bearing, etc).        If you ha...
