Also for the archives CXA252.
Very little on the www about this except someone else
who seems to have been here before but no resolution.
I wish to confirm this 1980 ? amp has not been tampered with
before i power-up and repair.
I have the schematics for the CTA 252 which is the tuner amp
version and the CXA seems to be a slightly more powerful
version (but no external heatsinks all active in totally enclosed
metal case) of the output modules used in the CTA 252.
So far so good . Now more that doesn't hang together
-incredibly thick guage (electic cooker wire) used for power
wiring inside but 2 pairs of outputs thin wire connected
to crappy 2 pin din (low power) speaker sockets.
THe legend on the outside says for use with ARC 'B'
speakers.
A pre-amp ? low power output ? daughter board
is also marked ARC 'B'
One output channel goes to parallel paired up
4mm banana sockets with one 2 pin Din
socket labelled 'L. F OUTPUT' and the other channel
to 'H. F OUTPUT' banana plus din , not left and right ouputs. Two
pairs of outputs but 2 each paralleled together -
what is this nonsense about ? . I don't think anyone
has ever been inside this amp and rewired or repaired
at any time since manufactured
