Another Realistic SA1000 amplifier in need of repair. This one came to the shop missing the fuse. Owner stated that the power transformer was defective. Turns out to be shorted final outputs and old crusty electrolytic caps. After a few moments of magical performance, the amp sprang back to life. Yes, these amps may not be an audiophiles delight, however they deliver a beautiful pure tone. Great for listening to your classic vinyl LP collection. I love working on these amps for their simple construction. Very rewarding to see them sing again! Hope you like.
