I have a lovely example of this which will be looking for a new home soon as I just don't have space. I recapped it a couple of years back with uprated Nichicons and Panasonic electrolytics, as per instructions created by Phonomac on another forum, possibly AOS.
It sounds sublime, however, even before recapping, it has an occasional niggle whereby, on switching the unit on (to one of the gain settings), one channel doesn't come on until the gain selector is wiggled ever so slightly, left and right. I think I did try cleaning the contacts on the rotary switch a while back, but it seemed to persist. I'm wondering if it might be the relay?
I have the full service manual, but here's the circuit diagram
and a couple of pics of the unit in question
Any thoughts or help much appreciated. It's such a lovely thing and would be great to have it working 100% again.
