Hey guys, I'm new to this board, but it looks like this might be helpful. Alright I have Fisher CA-272 Power Amp which only has one side working. There are no blown fuses, and I glanced at all the caps and they all looked fine. When I turn it on, the lights on the left meter (the broken channel) light up for a few seconds, and then fade down, if i remember, before the safety thing clicks off. The other channel remains unlit as it should. I don't think its the amp that's blown because when I pump it all the way on that channel, there is no distorted sound or anything. And when I hit the switch that changes the meter from 7watt range to 100watt range, the same light thing happens. No sound is produced which might coincide with the meter level jump, and the safety switch is off at this time. What possibilities are there and is this amp even worth fixing? Also the low end on the working channel sounds kinda shitty. I'm not sure if the speakers are just a bad combo for this amp or if it needs to be re-capped, or if it's something else. My guess would be its an OpAmp problem. But I'm not really very educated in this field. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
