Hi,
I have been asked to look at the subject amplifier which the owner
accidentally applied 200 watts to the input of. Specification states
12-14 watts maximum drive.
All 4 of the 18 ohm resistors in the drain to gate feedback are burned
up as are 2 resistors on the secondary of the input power sense coupler.
Have unsoldered the drain and gate tabs and lifted them. Resistance
measurements look sensible
So it looks like a handful of resistors so far
There is a 3dB input attenuator, monolithic device just marked 3dB, not
sure what sort of resistance measurement I should see across it or to
ground.
What else might need to be looked at?
I have the schematics but there is no circuit description. Does anyone
here have experience with these RM amplifiers? It looks fairly well
built if a little lightweight but not bad for a 300 watt amplifier.
