Citation 12 Amp issue

Posted by rockpassion (A) on December 8, 2016 at 22:17:06

Hello all,

I am in need of some help. I have an old Citation 12 that has a blown right channel. It happened when I hooked it up to some speakers on my patio. They played fine until I heard a crackle and saw some smoke coming from my right speaker. I quickly turned off the amp and checked the speaker. I found that a couple of wire strands were short circuiting the terminals. I fixed the short circuit and hooked up the amp. No sound from the right channel. I switched the cables around right to left and still no sound from the left. Oddly enough, the speaker that was smoking worked fine.

So, while I understand this is an old amp is there a simple trouble shooting approach that would help me identify the component that is bad. I only have DVM and can do a limited amount of testing. Although I have built a number of electronic kits, amps and preamps, I would not consider myself a wiz at this.

Thanks in advance.

Richard
