Hi!

I'll send you an e-mail. The address from which these messages come is
no longer valid (although I did think messages would still go there,
the biggest problem is that I forgot the password a few years ago).

That is exactly what I'm planning to do. I was concerned about
components coming loose due to thermal cycling. That concern actually
comes from being told that simply soldering broken circuit boards
together again won't work, jumper wires must be used. I've never
experimented, because I want to do only safe and effective repairs.

That's exactly what I wanted to be sure of.

The holes are damaged, but they're not so badly damaged that I cannot
use them. They looked better after I scrubbed the board.

As it is, the previous owners don't want the set back. They haven't
been really upfront about what went wrong, either. I'm guessing that
someone got a little too carried away with the volume control and
pushed things just a little too far. There are speaker fuses in this
receiver, something I do not believe the previous owners were aware
of. Neither the speaker or power fuses are blown.

It does seem like this receiver has more of a power supply than its
amplification section would ever be able to use. The power transformer
alone looks like it should be at home in something with a much larger
amplifier, and by itself, weighs ~16 pounds.

Hi!

> Yeah - I guess it bounced, so email me and I can send it to you.

Okay, I popped over to the eServiceinfo site and found the manual
after a quick search. Guess I should have checked into that first...

Looking over it now...I'm due to be near a RadioShack store tonight,
so I may drop in and see if they have suitable replacement parts. (I
know they're not necessarily the cheapest/best, but they'll do.)
