Need help here..bought a Sa8800 of ebay, it only lasted 1 hour then went off, Im no techy so I took it to my local repair shop who said it was a power suppy problem and dry solder joints, he managed to get it working again, that was just over a week ago.

I now have another problem, the volume increases on its own and it sounds a bit distorted, I can rectify the problem by playing with all the switches.
Could this just be that the switches need a deoxit or the speaker relay is dirty?

Dont want to take it back to the repair shop because my amp could disapear for months, he has massive waiting list for repairs.

I Would realy appreciate any help.

could be either or something else
Hi Thanks for replying, Im not sure but does this sound feasible, I fitted a new power light bulb above the mains switch a week ago and thats when the trouble started, Ive now disconected it and my amp is playing fine at the moment.
When I fitted the new bulb it started of dim then got brighter and brighter, the bulb was the right voltage and ampage thou, bought them from Germany.
Am I dreaming or is it possible this could cause my fault!!!
