Tuesday noontime, Joe:

I have a Centaur..............keep it covered when not in use.

My Elmer told me to always keep it covered..................dust is the problem.

Even when covered, open it up every two-three years and do a internal cleaning.

Gents,


Have any of you gone a few rounds with a Centaur amp?
I have a one that blows fuses very intermittently. It vaporizes them both, simultaneously, so it's apparently a dead-short somewhere. This happens even in stand-by. (i.e. No key-down)


Before I tear into it, anyone have any ideas of common failures in these amps?


Later, Joe, K8MP
