pictures kind of suck, i rushed them as my GF is leaving with hte camera...gonna try to play with hte settings and get a better one, i was kind of shocked to see how many different transistors there is on this thing lol

S&S do you have these transistors in stock? ohh its hard to tell whether ot not the 2nd line on the transistor says FQP or FOP, i think its a Q though

how much have you spent on the blown amp when you first got it? add $100 repair to it and you get the cost of ownership. I think spending $300 on a brand new one is just a smarter move in the long run. Who knows how soon this amp will blow up again, then its a $100 waste for you. Just a suggestion.

Agreed

I think you should spend the $300 and get a new one, I understand you have experience with repairing amplifiers however in the long run I think it would be in your best interest to spend the extra cash, save yourself in the long-run.

sometimes its not worth fixing blown up stuff because something can go wrong next time with different parts
