Here I show the disassembly of the output section. When disassembling, care must be taken when removing
the transistor insulators, as they are easily borken. The thermal coat has dried and you can see how it flaked
off when the transistors were removed. This is cleaned off with alcohol and a soft cloth. Transistors were
polished with a fine water based polish (designed for use on plastics). New capacitors were installed, and
new thermal coat was applied.
Before ^ and after v shots...
New thermal coat
You can see the oxidation on these output
transistors. I think this unit came from an
area with high humidity.
They are polised bright. Care must be taken
or you can remove the lettering along with
the tarnish.
