[QUOTE="Deiimos, post: 8755733, member: 682903"] While that is true, this is where you hopefully find somebody local to repair that does stuff cheap, sometimes people do. I use to repair amps for a little above parts cost, meaning I profited maybe $20 and the rest was parts. Yeah not worth it for me, and even then people still cried about the price, lol, but still you might be able to find somebody. I remember repairing an amp for a relatives friend, and he cried that it cost $20 total, which was like 6 or 8 power supply mosfets, gate resistors, and maybe drivers, he would only give my cousin $10 for the repair saying he didn't give the go ahead for repair (I wasn't there for the deal, just helping out, figured $20 was dirt cheap / just parts cost). Shipping will kill you if you have to ship these days, not worth it unless it is an amp that has value even after repair, or it is sentimental. The best bet with amps that are not all that valuable is to sell them non working to someone that can repair themselves and use that money on a new amp.
