Need to get my Son of Ampzilla repaired

Archived from groups: rec.audio.tech (More info?)

My beloved GAS Son of Ampzilla has a right channel going out . Is there
anybody in the Sacramento area who can repair it?

I ended up fixing my own Son. The unit had a bad cap on one of the input
boards and also was screwed up by a previous "tech". If I hear of someone
wanting one I shoot you an email. Your Son sounds real nice. BTW, how do
you feel about the lamp circuit? Those four little bulbs use up 1 amp and
generate a lot of heat. I have mine disconnected but I'm thinking of doing
something different. I saw "756" bulbs use a lot less current and last
longer. I heard the bulbs can be dipped in something to make them red.
That would look cool.

On another note, what's the deal with the protection circuits? I don't know
how to adjust them. I heard you can cut them out completely as they are not
needed.

Thanks,
Dave
