    Where can I get some repair info for a Cerwin-Vega EXL-1200D amp?

    I have two dead ones.
    I would like to use one for parts and fix the other
    One had a protection fault I believe.
    The second one quit playing, but the green light comes on. I found a capacitor had broken off of an IC and was rolling around. I resoldered it using the other amp as a guide but still no sound.
    Already checked the inputs, power, ground, remote, and outputs, everything seems normal, no burnt smell

    Wow you know any of that cerwin vega stuff is very hot collectable now. How about transistors? Rectifier bridge? I would search some different arrangments of what you have title wise and I wouldn't open any :fixya; titled sites, those always corrupt my searches but thats just my op1nion.
    I found good info by using Hi Fi

    No... I just look for obvious defects like melted parts or loose solder joints. I'd like to learn though, I have quite a few dead amps

    Okay, just checking to see if your luck has been better than mine. I just throw it all away now.

    Good luck with the repair.

    I understand somewhat but there is a growing market for vintage stereo equipment of certain branding.
    There are some really good sites but they are hard to find in searches so you have to use sometimes untypical arrangements under the title and look for links on entheusists sites.

    Oh, don't get me wrong, every time my brother comes out from Texas, he gets to work on my Dad's vacuum tube receiver. I understand wanting to fix something that's awesome (hence my love for 3g's). I simply have never had any luck fixing solid state stuff. Even my brother won't do it anymore. He sends us out to buy new.
