When did you have it upgraded and a few transistors changed?
How many hours of listening did you get out of it before it blew again?
If the second fuse blows it sounds like it's time for a full overhaul. Transistors shouldn't "need replacing" unless something else is causing a problem.

Air, purchased from Karen Richardson in Lincoln NE 1977, upgraded with GASworks Level 1, 1978 long ago.
Unit took out some transistors, my relative (tech) figured it out and fixed it with some Military transistors, repaired PS, 1986 or so. Excellent sound.
Stored a while, then decided to use it sporadically for my office from about 2007 (guessing) to 2015, when I retired.
Back home, loaned it semi permanently to my friend in April this yr.
No abuse, no loud volume, simple setup.
OK. I decided to replace the Son with a reliable backup amp, and advise him to buy a pre owned integrated if he wants.
My friend recently returned from living overseas, and lives pretty near me now. His uncle designed and built the speakers.
Do you know of a good and reliable restorer?
Mike Bettinger wants a lot more than I wish to spend.
The original designer did upgrades, but is in Heaven.
There are a few out there on the 'net, and I live in LA and can fish around.
I'd box it and have it restored if it means anything to you.
I posted to myself. Any good restorer whom you've used?
hi, look no further than Mike Bettinger. I doubt that anyone can do a better job.
