Hello,
First I must say that I own a G-9700 purchased from this board and use it proudly. It is powering DQ-10's and JBL 15's (housed in separate cabs). It is my main analog system and it always impresses those who hear it.
So my friend hears it (while separated from the misses) and totally gets the "bug". He already had a G-8700 which he owned since it was a year old. He told me it now stays in the "protect mode" with the green light flashing. He found a G-9700 from a friend who was selling off equipment and purchased it, even though it blows fuses when powered up.
He is back with the misses and has enlisted me to figure out what to do with the 2 receivers. Both units are at my house now. The G-8700 is in excellent cosmetic condition while the G-9700 is a bit rough. His preference is to end up with a working G-9700 while using the 8700 as payment. This is a difficult proposition, with the complexity of the repairs and the probable shipping of the units.
So I am asking the board for advice. And I am also searching for techs in the area of central Florida. After thinking on this for awhile now, I am inclined to ebay both and sell him my G-9700 for what I paid. Of course I am making a sacrifice (isn't that what friends are for?)... but I will get my analog system up and running with different equipment eventually.
Anyways, does anyone have any advice or recommendations? Just asking with no obligations... I thought this board would be the perfect place to look for advice. Thanks for your time!
