Refurbing a Ti500.4
Posted: Mon May 02, 2011 11:42 am
Hello Phoenix friends. A few months ago I bought an SA1.4x from a pawnshop for 20$. I must admit, I was impressed! Very underrated, warm and natural sounding. It's now running my basement system. That little amp led me to buy a Ti500.4 from the same pawnshop for 45$ (allegedly broken).
I got the ti500.4 home and bench tested it. It works (although the three power LED's don't light up), but it's gonna need some work. I've already ordered the 2200uF 50V caps to replace the swollen ones. All the other caps looked good, but I would be more than willing to replace any 'problematic' caps while I'm in there.
Here's my biggest problem: The front RCA inputs are broken. I can see where someone tried to solder the connecter back together, but it didn't work. Is there any place I could buy a new replacement RCA connector? I guess I could switch the aux output rca connector, but I would like to restore this beast to 100% working condition.
Thanks guys. Can't wait to get this thing working.
