Default Re: Cambridge Audio A500

You really do have to test EVERYTHING on that board, or else it will take out your new transistors when power is applied. You don't so much repair transistor audio amps as reconstruct them.

If that pot has been hot it suggests significant current has been coming out of the power darlington's bases. This does not bode well for other devices on the board.
