This is probably the 6th bad main filter cap I have come accross in a McIntosh amp! A MA6200 in this case, over the last 40 years.....
Monitoring the main supply to the 18 volt + DC regulator. Supply voltage has sagged to 24 volts from the expected 39. Amp is in full power guard at 10 watts.
Also had a interesting problem with improperly installed drain resistors for new main filter caps in a Pioneer SA9900 allowing oscillation which would trigger the protection circuit after about 15 minutes.
