Phoenix Gold Phorum

Hello I just signed up to the forum today and need info,help with both of my MS 2250s.I can see that the caps are leaking.I have not hooked them up since my freind that I sold them to in 1995 GAVE both of them back to me anyhow I would like to use both of them in a instal.Does anyone know someone who fix them or should I send them to Phoenix Gold? Thanks

Thank You I just got off the phone with him.I will be sending some pics to him.He seemed amazed that I still have my fan shrouds.One more ? should I put serial numbers in the registry?Now that I found this phorum I really wish I had all 4 of my MS 2250s and my mq 430s my ms275s mps2240,ms 250 mps2500

Thanks for joining us! I think pictures are needed on these beauties

Welcome to the forum! Please post the serials in the limited registry so i can add your amps!

Thanks I will post pics soon.I am a computer TARD as for beauties they are not in the shape they were years ago The shrouds need to be recoated but at least I have them I found them in the top of my old ass barn about 6 years ago right before I tore the barn down with a lull and then lit it on fire.I do not think they would have looked so good after that.

burning those would have made you an even bigger tard for sure

Here U Go..Pics..

Nice examples in need of minor touch up! I really like the last picture!!!

Thanks they do need work I can't wait to hook them back up one day.I am trying to get my hands on 2 2125s that a friend of mine has before he hooks them up.My other friend that had my 2250s has 2 of my 275s I am going to try to get those also.Wish me luck.

those are so cool looking. I've always loved the green torroids. after the needed tune-ups they we last a long time I'm sure.

if your handy you can swap out the caps yourself. Not tough to do, I just did mine. Great tutorial in the how-to section. Nice amps btw.

I am a little handy but not really that great at soldering.I am unsure if I should try on my 2250s maybe I will wait until I get my hands on a 2125 that I might get today.I should go ahead and learn because paying someone to repair 2- 2250s 2- 2125 2-275s is going to be alot of money 1 of the 2250s needs a resistor replaced also if you can see that in my pics not sure about fixing that myself.

PICS

very nice little tlc and you will have another 15-20 years out of them

Thanks

What resistor you need to replace on MS2250?

R 332.I don't know what caused that could have happend when my buddy had them or from me.I had 4 of them pushing 8 15's 2ohm mono..I had to send at least one of my amps to Phoenix Gold every month back in 1993 1994 you probably worked on them.

Yea there pretty cool.I use to compete "SPL" in highschool so just about everyone who had any kind of system knew about PHOENIX GOLD because that is what I ran in my truck my freind that had the 2125 never ran PHOENIX GOLD he ran ORION amps but knew the 2125 was worth something.I wish he had two of them.

most of my friends know what it is but their wifes will not let them play with any of it....
