Steve, et al,
Well, I finally got round to starting the restore my 112RD-100. Of course I had taken everthing apart before I thought about taking some pictures. Sorry bout that!
Anyway, can you comment on the following:
1. Cap job. Do you replace all the capacitors? - even the small ones on the pc board? - there is some signs of leakage :-(
2. The main component board has signs of overheating - brown "burn" marks where something got real hot. Now, this amp worked good before I made it my new project, so It may have already been repaired - I cannot tell. Should I persue this issue, or wait until something fries and then get it fixed?
3. It had a Ruby 12" speaker, which is not original. I have an EV for it. Now what is the correct way to connect the speaker wires. What I mean is - on one end is a 1/4 standard jack. Do you put the gnd to the - side of the speaker and the "tip?" to the + side of the speaker?
Well, I have many more questions, but - like at the drive up window at the bank, will only ask a couple at a time :-)
Thanks for any suggestions!
