    • @amprepairguy
      @amprepairguy 16 дней назад

      Simple, would take longer for them to do it the way I do it. Time is money Same goes for the al811h Pa where they ground the grids. I have seen the stud nuts loose in the al80 series pa’s and socket screws loose in the grounded grid al811h pa’s. Very important to have a solid grid to chassis connection. I don’t want the customer to have send the pa in for repair again, I cut no corners!!!

    Hey there, I hope you're well! I recently acquired an AL-811H, but unfortunately the "Load" variable capacitor is not turning smoothly throughout. Seems to get very tight around 5 through 6. As such, I fear some of its plates may be contacting. I suspect this because the amp was shipped to me with tubes installed and unprotected, which resulted shattered glass inside the amp throughout. Initially, turning the "Load" knob did not actually turn the rotor, where the knob was just rotating on a stuck shaft, but with some finessing, I was able to get it to rotate the rotor. The plates on this variable cap are so close together its hard to tell if contact is being made, or if the shaft itself is just damaged in some way which is less concerning to me. I've noticed that MFJ sells a 282-2113, a 20-823pf replacement, however, given the fate of MFJ, I'd be surprised if this is something they would have in stock... none the less I have not contacted them yet. I have yet to drive the amp, as I fear a short on the "Load" however, for what it's worth, the Grid Current with no load is 1700 with some vintage RCA 811A's installed. Two questions for you: Is this something you would be able to address if i solicited a repair from you? Alternatively, would you happen to have any recommendations for a replacement? Returning this seems to be out of the question since it was a private sale of a "Works Good" amp. Thank you so much!

    Scott, believe it or not, this video helped me diagnose my SB-220. All of a sudden I had a short in the 120 VDC circuit. Initial symptom was SoftStart relay wouldn't disable. I checked ACV and DCV both were way too low. Check for shorts, soft start - nope, soft key - nope, capacitor - nope. Seemed to be coil for relay, then I disconnected the coil Still has short. figured I'd watch your video and do mod as part of the repair. Your comment on Grid to Heater short was the key. Thanks so much!!!
