[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 42862, member: 30"] Re: Is it safe to use this amp? I agree with JR. In all of my years as a bench tech, I cannot think of a single repair on an amp that was fixed by simply replacing burnt resistors. Usually something else goes bad that causes them to burn. And most semiconductors do not fail with an outside evidence of failure. SO you can't look a them and see if they are bad or not. They have to be measured-one at a time. I suspect that simply replacing the resistors alone is a waste of time-but who knows. [/QUOTE]
