Pat,
Thanks for the info. now you bring up another question. I have bought another
811H thathas been stored for abotu 2 years. stored in a a clean dry closet
inside plastic bags etc so it is very very clean.
might be a stupid question but... is there anythign i shold do or maybe NOT do
when I first fire it back up? Can sitting there for two years actually hurt the
amp? i woudl think that some store stock could get stored that long or maybe
warehouse stock..
Just curious this list has smoe real experts ,g. and I just do nto want to
screw up a perfectly good amp by bringing it out of storage and maybe doing
somethign wrong on re-start
thanks
Dan
