A friend's AL-1500 started blowing fuses after the two minute timeout. I isolated the problem to the filter cap board. After pulling the board, I found that two or three caps had vented their guts on

REPLY: So you're going to put in the exact same resistors which failed in the first place? I would think you'd want something better. 73, Bill W6WRT _______________________________________________ Am

Have they changed the resistors to ones properly rated for the job? It's certainly an efficient spares service, but a shame they designed something with a fundamental flaw built in. Steve A friend's

That's not all. The 8 capacitors are running right on the edge as well. They are 450V rated and the plate voltage is 3600V. On days when the incoming mains is a little higher, it is not uncommon for

Its more a repitition thing as those resistors have been a problem for ages as have the caps in the 3 top end models. A certain person used to always say those caps were all specified and tested at 4

I just installed on of these into my AL82: http://home.earthlink.net/~wd7s/hv-2.htm I had to drill some new holes, and make a mod or two to the new board, but works great! I also installed one of my

If the amplifier is 30 years old like my Alpha 76A the components probably are properly rated for the job. de Paul, W8AEF Have they changed the resistors to ones properly rated for the job? It's cert
