I've owned this receiver/amp for 30 years. Used infrequently but
functioned
fine. Today, while playing a CD, suddenly stopped after 5 minutes on low
setting. Toggled to mute, loudness, no joy. Using FM input, controls
seem
to work and I can hear music when I reach very high settings. Sometimes
crackles to very loud but only momentary. I think pre-amp is OK.
I'm thinking some sort of protective output circuit has activated but I
have
no schematic. Before I tear in blindly, does anyone have access to a
schematic for this [I found a source on rapidshare but file no longer
there].
Thank you.
If both channels affected then suggests protect cct. Test the voltages on
any zeners associated with that cct , drifting with age, and altering the
sense-window
