Another Carver PM 1.5 to save!

Ih guys,
I've been given a pm1. 5 which exhibits the classic 'thum-thum' syndrom, with light slowly going up and down...

I found one small diode and the 901ohm/56ohm/33ohm trio to be defective and changed them.
I also preventively changed the supply caps. Usually that's enough to give a new life to these amps.

But not that time. The 56 ohm has immediately blown up and burned at switch on...

I take your advise before doing anything more...


Mathieu
