Looks like Orion may fix the amp if they can get the parts since it an old school amp, they said they will charge a small fee. I will be shipping today and will receive a quote in a few weeks I assume, hopefully much sooner. I hope its cheap because it is only a resistor and if there is no fix we will be talking if these are still available.
I have listened but what do I have to lose? If he comes back and sais its xx$ to fix and I dont like the price I will tell him to keep it . Its worth a shot and I am interested to hear what they have to say. Shipping cost me 6$ , no biggey at this point in time.
