After Power Outage
 

I had a power outage Jun 11th and my amp hasn't powered up yet. It
still has the standby light but no power. I left it unplugged for days
and it's still not coming on. This happened before and after leaving
it unplugged a week it powered up again. The model is Fisher RS-727.
Should I have it serviced or just get a new one? Any advise will be
appreciated. Thanks.

It's probably a fairly simple repair, if it's a nice amp it's at least worth
having looked at.

I see it advertised at $69.95 from an on-line pawnshop, so I don't
think it is worth heroic efforts. Check for a blown fuse but, beyond
that, you might look for a replacement. Repair costs are probably
more than it is worth.

Where are you located? Sort of curious... I found a Sony receiver and
could have fixed it if I had stopped fixin' it. :) Fred

Try warming it up with a hair dryer, around the electrolyics near the PSU.
