Pioneer spec-2 repair service near Chicago

I have a pioneer spec-2 that is in need of some assistance. I have repaired a few audio items here and there but think this may be beyond my skills.

I am wondering if anyone knows of a reputable repair service (or an individual) in the Chicago or Milwaukee area who knows about these amplifiers ?


It was working fine when I used it on and off over the last few years. It’s been off for awhile, 7 or 9 months maybe, and I went to use it today and nothing. I powered it on and after a couple seconds, I heard the CLICK of the relay, but the red protection light stays on and there is no sound.

There is no movement in the meters, no sounds or buzzing out of the speakers, no smoke and no smells. I opened the cover and don’t see anything Burned up. I saw about 4 or 5 fuses and none were blown. Also, it has not been modified since I’ve had it and I’ve had it about 15 or 20 years now

Thanks in advance.

Did you use a multimeter to verify ?


Oh. No I did not because I could see each wire inside the fuse. I guess one could have burned up at an end and I wouldn’t see it

I’ll open the top again and see if I can get the Multimeter probes in there to check.
 
OK. Looks can be deceiving. I've been bit in the ass by visual assumptions a couple times.
 
Yes, you can. Another alternative is Stereo Rehab on Western Ave. Casper is a great guy and does very good work. Check out his website.
