I've got my 1973 Realistic SA175C on the bench:
ALL the capacitors and the two driver transistors circled in red were replaced in 2006.
I hooked it up to my signal generator, dummy resistors and scope and see some clipping that concerns me. To bring you up to speed would you watch a 2 minute video that shows it hooked up and running?:
The amp is "pre-FTC" rated at "24 watts" or,12 watts per channel, peak. Questions and discussion: How much RMS wattage would you expect to see from such an amp? How does watching the video affect your answer? If the scope doesn't look normal where would you start looking for problems? Thanks for looking!
