Hey Skip, thought I would show a picture of my work area at home. This is where all the magic happens and where I would recap your amp.

    No rush man, take your time. A week, a month, a year there is no time limit.

    I am completely jealous of that space right now.

    The Gear... Carver "Statement" Mono-blocks, Mcintosh C2300 Arcam AVR20, Oppo UDP-203 4K Blu-ray player, Sony XBR70x850B 4k, Polk Audio Legend L800 with height modules, L400 Center Channel Polk audio AB800 "in-wall" surrounds. Marantz MM7025 stereo amp. Simaudio Moon 680d DSD

    When I have time, I'm going to try and bring you that Mitsu and maybe a Jolida amp I need repaired. The Jolida was a big reason I wanted to learn to solder and troubleshoot - the labor costs to repair were extremely high, but I'm getting tired of it sitting in the closet.

    I totally went through my Jolida JD1000RC to find a cold solder joint that was putting the amp into protection. Worked flawlessly after that.

    Nice! The only thing I have around my work bench is alcohol.

    Very nice. That reminds me of my days when I was an electronic technician.

    Here is the workbench I used for replacing the tweeter on my left Magico S5. :)

    Thats a very organized and proper work bench. No need to run to Radio Shack for you. Perhaps you're part to blame for them going BK. Lol. But on a serious note, what kinds of repairs do you tackle? Is it a hobby or your livelihood? Just curious.

    It is a hobby but I do have an electronics background. I do a little bit of everything. I have built tube amps, tube Linestage, chip amps, and starting a phono preamp as soon as I have all the parts. I have repaired receivers, solid state and tube amps, preamps, turntables, speakers, and more. I do some for friends but mainly it is for me.

    I'm in Texas. I'm the guy who sent you the aluminum side panels for your amp.

    I remember that, but forgot from where...

    If you ever get to CA... look me up, as I owe you a beer or two.

    You are welcome here anytime. The guest room is always open. What model is the Jolida? What is wrong with it?
