harman/kardon Citation Twelve, Power Amplifier
Is this amp worth having repaired at cost of $220. Overall the amp is not in very good cosmetic condition and I see them going for around $175 on ebay.
here is the quote from my local repair guy;
" Your amp has been repaired before as I can see . By somebody that likes to tinker ...........not very good work..
The powersupply capacitors are uneven and need to be replaced . This repair takes $80 in parts for 4 big powersupply capacitors .Labor is $50
This will fix the problem .
Other suggestions :
Match the input transistors for dc ofset and replace all 10 small electrolitic caps on the boards .
This cost $40 in parts , labor is $50 .
It will make your amp more dependable espcially at this age "
thanks for any advice or recomendations:scratch2:
