A little over a year ago I acquired a working Ten Tec Titan 425. It spent a
year in the closet as I had nothing to load it into. I finally got the new
antenna up and turned on the amplifier. After about 30 minutes the fuses
popped and the amp was dead.
I took it to Burghardt Radio Repair and Jim said the transformer was good,
but most of the rest of the supply was toast. I believe him as he has
always been fair and square with me.
He said there was a mod that added another diode to each leg of the bridge
that probably would have saved me. I paid him for the diagnosis and brought
the amp and supply home. The bad news is the caps alone are around $800.
Other parts, labor and I am probably looking at $1200 or more. I don't have
that kind of cash and if I did I'm not sure this would be the most effective
way to spend it. So, I am trying to figure out my options.
Any suggestions?
Thanks and 73,
