[QUOTE="hispls, post: 8719486, member: 614752"] The thermal paste should be about the same stuff you use to stick a heatsink on a CPU. As you say that burnt clip looks a bit ominous. If this amp doesn't power up I think it's going to be beyond the scope of anybody on this forum to help you get it up and running (normally more stuff than is visibly damaged will have failed). If you're looking to get these restored by a professional, hit up Stephen Mantz (Zed Audio Corp). He has been designing and repairing amps since the 70s and offers restoration services. Keep in mind on a 20+ year old amp all the electrolytic capacitors are prone to failure and should be replaced regardless of anything else broken. [/QUOTE]
