Boy, if you don't know what your are doing or have the proper equipment to do checks... leave SS amps alone. I don't know how many fried 1980-2000's SS amps I've seen, after a so-called "tech" worked on it.
Often, after being "tweaked" by a tech with years of tube amp experience.
This also goes for those tube amps with a lot of SS components in them. Like same vintage CJ or ARC's. Basic output tube biasing and changing tubes is all that an owner should attempt. Don't try tweaking stages, unless you really know what you are doing. Following something posted on the Net is dangerous, at best. IMHO.
