I just replaced the filter cap board in a friend's AL-1500. It
was $180 for the fully populated board. I t was pretty small.
Maybe it will fit. It is set up for full wave bridge. There is
a separate board for the diodes, which is probably reasonable
too. We did not change that one.

Subject: [Amps] Ten Tec Titan 425 Options
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,
Joe kk0sd
