    Ben I don't have a cheap amp for you.. but, how profecient are you in fixing a broken amp? right ch is out or more on a mid 80's Pioneer amp I have. I would like to get if fixed and put in back into service.

    I don't of course have the schematics for it.. but I am looking for someone who know's their stuff and can investigate what the problem with the amp is. I suspect a leaking cap, one of the big caps appears to be leaking to me. but that's just eyeballing it. not really much of an educated guess.

    lemme know your thoughts.

    Ben - I have an Outlaw M200 mono-block that the output keeps breaking up every once in a while. I am not sure if it's a bad RCA jack, or loose connection. It went back to Outlaw and they thought they had found a loose connection and fixed it, but then it started it again. It's not doing me any good setting in my closet, and I don't have use for a single M200, so let me know your thoughts.

    I've got a Carver M200t that is stuck in protect mode....I have the service manual with the schematics in it, just lack the skill to play with it...I was thinking if I did get it repaired, I would like the spring clips replaced with a nice set of binding posts, and possibly a better set of RCA plugs on it.....
