Greetings,
First time post, new member. I just acquired the above amp from a friend of mine who said that channel 4 was causing this amp to go into protection mode. After a couple hours of testing the final stage transistors via the service manual then swapping the daughter boards between one module and another I found that the culprit is the daughter board. I previously emailed Classe' support about acquiring a amp module to which they said that they don't supply the 'kits' anymore but would sell the individual output transistors (matched set) once I found out which ones were the problem, which in this case is not the issue. I know this amp is over 20 years old but would you pass the chance to fix a $3000 amp someone GAVE you?
So it looks like there's no way to get this amp working unless someone has one for parts or someone here on this forum may 'know a guy who knows a guy'.
Any info would be appreciated.
