Default Re: Armstrong 626 high volume problems

Hmmmmm - maybe it was a big mistake but I didn't try the amp out at high volume before I started. I didn't want to do too much when I saw the state of the capacitors.

On consideration the fuse didn't blow originally but only after starting to check the pilot lamps. The lamp holders sit in rubber grommets to isolate them from the chassis so perhaps there was a short there? To replace the bulbs I had to remove and replace the lamp holders so perhaps I fixed that short as the fuse has been fine since then.

(This is beginning to sound a bit like fools rush in.... )
