Hiya
I am repairing a Dynacord Powermate 1000-2 mixer/amp and have a question about DC blocking capacitors in the signal path.

 

I am getting a slowly dropping DC on the DISP1 node (output of I6AA op-amp) on switch-on.  This is causing the green "signal present" LED to come on on that channel which takes about 30 seconds to turn off.  It seems to be caused by a charge on C35A that dissipates slowly through R54A (1M Ohm).  

 

It seems to me, it would have been better to put the C35A on the output of I5AA with a resistor to ground.  Is there a reason why this would not work.  

 

I have checked all relevant components and power supplies and I cannot find any faults but I'm sure this is not normal behaviour.

 

Any help greatly appreciated.

 

 

 

Szép napot kívánok! A szóbanforgó erősítő javitásánál megakadtam, semmi hibát nem találok és mégis időközönként oltári sípolásba kezd mid a két csatornán. Mi okozza ezt ? Köszönettel :arpinyo

Üdvözlet a Tanyásoknak! Nem találok irány mutatást arra nézve,mennyit érnek ezek a régi hangfalak.Főleg,ha hibátlanok. Tanácsot kérnék ebben a témában. Köszönettel Pistili

Hi All,


I have a Rotel RA-980BX amp with a blown channel. I have sourced most of the transistors, but am struggling to find the other 4.


Part numbers as follow:
2SC3478
2SC4381
2SA1376
2SA1667


What would be suggested equivalents / suitable replacements?


Also, some advice, I suspect the bias pot to be bad. Based on the circuit, would you think that the bad bias pot would cause the drivers and outputs to blow? Any suggestion on modification to prevent this re-occurring?


Thanks



Regards,
Werner
