Just a couple watts ya reckon

Holy Crap batman

Channel "B" the one that was broken -----98 volts peak...:scratch2: According to my TI-30X calculator --600.4 watts before clipping @ 8 ohm with 1Khz input signal..Load resistors got a little warm to the touch after 30 seconds.
Channel "A" measures the same.Clipping indicator works as it should on "A". When the scope waveform starts to clip the indicator LED lights up.
Actually the input frequency dial had gotten bumped and the input freq was actually about 920Hz
oops!:D

I see 20 TO-3 transistors on that heatsink, with almost no radiating area, is there something else that connects to it to spread the heat?
 
Knew you would find it and quickly. I only wish I had half of some of the diagnostic skills the techs on this Forum have. Good job, Avionic.
 
Borked opamp...NJM4558D ...:yes:

Avionic is a badass! Did he mention that he got rid of all the rust off the body panels and repainted them as a surprise? :banana: Yes, besides the cigarette residue from its old bar home, it picked up lots of corrosion from living near the sand in Florida. :tears:

Don't know how I missed this thread til now :scratch2: Great to go back and follow it, though. 600 wpc ain't too bad! Not quite the 625 that "T.R.M." said was posted in a lab report, but still way more power than I'll need since I sold the QLS1's. The headroom and S.Q., OTOH, is EXACTLY what I need right now. The only amp that's brought as big of a smile to my face lately is my lone working BX-1.

.And watch´n football..

hope you didn't give up after the 1st quarter last night! holy cow! probably the most exciting, nail-biting second half i've ever listened to on the radio. funny, i grew up a Cyclone fan, and i was also a huge P.S.U. fan during the early 90s when they were B.A.M.F.'ers, but couldn't have been more happy to cheer for the Hawks last night. i'm a true convert now :thmbsp:
 
the numbers are hard to see

What output trannys are they
and is this a G/H-class or all the TO3s parallel ?

Its one heavy SOB..Specs say 134 lbs. And I only weight 145lbs...Not looking forward to lugging it back upstairs...

Now, I think there is something wrong in that equation. I weight 230+LBs and the amp I checked out last time weighted 140LBs. I could barely lift it up from the ground. :D

You probably just kick it from upstairs and let gravity do the job? J/K!

it's h-class, two different rails. transistors are 2SC1608 and 2SA1117. here's the block diagram:

I ate my Wheaties that day...




You did notice in the photo´s it was in pieces..The last piece to drag down to the shop was about 95-100 lbs. And believe me , I took it one step at a time.Its going to weight the full amount going the other direction.Which is definitely going to be a 2-man lift.

I see. That's the Super Food Formula you take for that day! :D :banana:

Yep! I noticed! Even 100LBs chunk of iron is not easy to move. I hope you've got a helper to move it upstairs again. :yes:
