I'm actually the one working on it and its not easy !

Power supply of 2nd channel seems to work now but I have to rebuild the amp board now.
Just taking these boards out to work on them is a pain.

It's about time!  Glad to hear that both are up and running.  Now all we have to do is make sure they make it down to CF.
Got Carver?

I love the list of amps going down to CF

(2) Lightstars
pair of 305's
(2) 600x2 Sunfires
Carver A-753x
Carver A-760x

Is that enough power?

While I understand your excitement to get these back in working order....

Anders always had a rule, if you watch him work he charges double.  I'm not sure what he charges for being cheered on (nagged) lol.   :P

Rest easy, he is meticulous and takes a great deal of pride in his work.   I hope it shows :)  He is exactly the person you want working on your babies.
