I removed the guts from the pilot lamp and installed the channel indicating leds in it. We can see the two new pots installed, a clean volume pot and a mids pot.

Malfunctional Zachry D250 mono block

Here’s a Zachry D250 solid state amplifier. It stopped working producing only a 100Hz noise. Look at them blue filter caps, seems a bit swollen.

Here’s a picture from the bottom of the caps.

Those caps are out of date. Had a hard time finding 15000uF 63V caps with a diameter of 35mm. Finaly found and ordered F&T :s with the right values but a diameter of 40mm. I should be able to fit hem.

Power cord the wrong way

A word of warning. Never install your power cord like this!

Found it when replacing a bad power cord in an old amp. Had the new cord installed properly with the ground wire directly to the chassie ground.
