you never came back to Steve with his test recommendations and other comments in posts #336 and #337 ... he presumably has been awaiting for your test report

I think the passing of Chris might have put pay to it.

I have a post (about 10 posts back) with many many points for @bikemech to consider. I assume they are still valid?

I have no idea what I have replaced as I have lost my original diagram, am going to have to print out another and go through the thread and mark it out again

 

[bikemech]

ok guys looks like am never going to get time to finish this project, would anyone like to finish it for me and chris?
I will gladly post the amp and all the new components I have to you free of charge,

That's a damn shame. I hope there's someone in the UK who can take it over.

I could but not sure when I could look at it. I did say at the start when we lost Kris that I would and will keep my word, but would need to go through the whole thread again.

That's fine, will be a little while before I have time and cash to post it as it's extremely heavy, inbox me the address and as soon as I have time I will post it and everything I have to go with it, I am gutted to be honest but after all the effort everyone has put in to help me with it it deserves to be completed, regards,

this thread makes me cry. you should have started at the power line for the left channel and worked your way in until you found the fault. faults are usually ground outs somewhere. opens are where there is a gap in the line.
start over cause the amp is still ok, thats why those lights are there.
turn it off. use a multimeter on ohmage to test the channel circuits to ground... when you find a signal, you find your fault.

Don't cry. The amplifier is going to someone who will try to fix it.

There is something that connects to that resistor that is grounding out. Maybe inttermittently because you said it didn't just fry out but took a while to stop.
