Then it was time to replace the electrolytic capacitors. The main caps measured 90% of capacity, so they were left.New Bourns trimmers.

I always wanted to know what the inside of mine looked like. It has been in the bedroom system for 13 years and still sounds great. Thanks for all the great pics.

It works beautifully. I recommend it to everyone. If anyone has any questions about maintenance, please ask.

looks like they sent you the instructions, which must have been nice.

i didn't hear back from them for 5 days during which time i had to completely disassemble them to remove the wires(unleaded solder) and come up with a plan for installation.

by the time i heard from them, they were already installed. they stated that they must have forgotten to email them. it's like, they have 5 worthless pics of them on their website. one of those pics could have been a diagram of installation. AND for the price they charge, why couldn't they include instructions in the package?

i honestly thought that they had sent me the wrong part and i was not going to wait to return it and get the right one.

i will still buy their terminals but they did leave a bad taste in my mouth.

you should pop the top and take a look at the glue and see if it is near those 2 resistors...i think r151/2 but can't be sure.

clean up the glue, replace the resistors and get rid of those black gates before they swell.

No, they didn't send me instructions, I connected it according to the original. ;)

Time won't allow me to do any internal work at this time. The M-65 is installed in a currently, being used, system that would be very inconvenient to disassemble right now. I still am very happy to see the insides.
