Hi Everybody,
I was looking for a new amplifier and speakers for my record player, and came across this piece in a thrift store...(Image 1) (Image 2)
I opened the back to take a look inside and found this...(Image 3) (Image 4) (Image 5)
and this diagram...(Image 6)
and these labels on the back...(Image 7) (Image 8)
...so I plugged in my stereo, plugged the thing in and it sounded great!...for about a minute. Then this part (Image 9) which is also seen in the top left part of image 4 started to smoke, the audio ceased, and little drops of something oily and smelly started dripping out of the part.
I knew I was in for a challenge when I saw the thing, and figured I'd have to get a book and learn how to rebuild it, but I thought someone on the forum might be able to give me some advice in the meantime...
If you know about this kind of set up and can point me in the direction of any good books or websites, or offer some answers yourself, I'd be very grateful...it sounded really warm and nice for the few minutes it worked, and I'd like to get it back to sounding like that or better if possible. Thanks...
