My 1060 Over heating

[rBuckner]

we call them "alligator clips" over here but grabber probes work even better for stuff like that

like these:

if you are a retro grouch like me and have an old Simpson or Triplett meter with the weird shielded bananas that allow you to use the DMM type probes that everyone else uses I did find some adapters for those but the part numbers might take me some searching.

Totally agree, crocodile clips have ruined many amps!

Well got fed up of waiting for aligator clips to be delivered, thought Id have a go with probes to set amplifier bios voltage. Used tie raps to hold probes in place, bit dodgy I know, but it worked.
All heat problems solved and believe me, what a differance in the sound, best I could achieve was 7.2mv, but it sounds great. Thanks to all of you, Im learning.

I assume you mean 7.2 mV

Yes I did mean 7.2mv, and Id like to say personal thanks for all your help.

Ive ordered a few mini grabbers, they look a lot safer to use than probes or aligator clips. Cheers

^they are great for just this job. Because, you know, you'll think you're done and then you'll be looking at Craigslist or walking by a thrift store some day and...
