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.
-
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?

. I think my second one is running. The original one that you guys took back this year is still to be fixed. Keep up the push!!!!' ;)
-
I hear they are both running!!!!! Get those meters calibrated!!!!! ;)

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.

I'm pretty sure there will be at least one more Lightstar, as well as a pair of original Carver Silver 9 tube amps (700 watts?), and probably at least one Carver PT-2400 (750 wpc)....

Most of the above is incorrect. Figures.
I wrote a review, somewhere. Transcribed it to CarverAudio.com then it was reprinted(stolen) and moved to other places trying to flesh out an LD website without my permission. It looks like someone copy/pasted and wasn't paying attention.

Really....hmmmmm. I left CarverFest with a truck load of Cheerwine. I still have 16 2 litres and a case of cans left. Roy and I found the Cheerwine distributer for the Bryson City area.
