Just wanted to send a shout out to Avionic (Dave) for helping out a newbie with a project, and his generosity in sending a somewhat obscure specific component free of charge! He happened to see a thread where I was questioning purchasing a non working receiver, and upon reading that the bias diode was missing, had PM'd me asking if I'd like one. That's the kind of warm welcome I can't thank someone enough for.


Again, Dave, much appreciated, and I hope to be able to pay it forward some day.

I want to also give a nod to Avionic (Dave) for all the help he has given me on my Yamaha gear over the last couple of years. I am far from an audio technician, but I was able to fix several of my components because he took the personal time to talk me through the repair. One time he even set up an invoice of parts I needed from an online source for me to buy. Realize Dave has a regular job that demands much OT yet he still finds the time to help a fellow AK’er. Dave never asked for anything in return and refused when I offered such.

I started to get in over my head on the repair on one of my M-2 amps so he agreed to take a look at it for me. Although it took him several months, he never over committed his time or promised anything he could not support. The results were awesome and he even shipped me extra capacitors so I can match my other M-2. I know he spent way more quality time on this amp than he charged me for. In this day and age it is very rare to be able to buy this type dedication and passion at any price.

Someday I hope to find a way to return some Karma his way, but considering my personal skills are mostly limited to aerospace engineering, it may be difficult.

If you are ever in the neighborhood, we will need to get together, drink a few tumblers of the “water of life” and listen to some tunes...

Thanks Dave!
 
Dave, I promise to do my best. Slow and steady with this one, so I don't make matters worse. Tomorrow I'm making my dim bulb tester so I'll be ready when she gets here this Wednesday! I'm super PSYCHED!
 
Avionic,... hyfry.. first thank you FOR YOUR SERVICE !. UM.. got a yam ca-610ii. protection will not engage without jumper the ground...then the amp works perfectly normal. A GOODWILL find. Your name has come up on the Yamaha Goodies. I've replaced the caps related to the relay....NO JOY ! wondering if the transistors, are the real issue? I'm A NOOB, but you probably figured that. Having difficult determining the correct part # for the transistors any parts sheet reference say TR574 ?.. Any help appreciated.
 
Same hear. Dave has help me out many times. He is a great guy. Maybe we should let him hang around on AK a little longer. :D
 
Hyfry- I think when Avionic said start your own thread he meant in the YAMAHA section, not the feedback section.

Hope this helps.
