WOAH!!! you probably hit your storage capacity for images in one post!!  anyways, is says US AMps on the board, has vacuum tumes and has Clarion end caps. The damage shown would take a lot of repairs to get it back up and running, and would take a lot of steady handed soldering with FAR better soldering irons than what youve shown. Go on FB and ad yourself in the strictly sound quality page and look for Zed. He can fix pretty much anything, but it wont be cheap. Or sell it and let someone else fix it. But if you want to keep it, Zed is your guy. His name is Steve Mantz

Yes the speaker terminal block is from an old clarion its the only way I could find a replacement.

Yes those soldering irons had a hard time getting the terminals out of the boards.

I've already installed the terminal.

I find all these sites on the net, nobody wants to answer questions or emails.

I'd like to know where I can find an insulator for the mosfets, should I use kapton tape?

the offset current or bias voltage, whatever its called. what should it be set to?

Where are the test points?

As you can see I already replaced most the capacitors and the pin headers for the tube board.

The amp is working if I could find the info I just mentioned I could button it up and use it.

Zed doesn't repair US amps, it says it right on his page.

I guess this topic will be a dead end just like the 12 YEARS of threads all over the internet because these so-called proud builders and companies dont give a crap about the end user.

No wonder everything is made in China now, nobody wants to help fix this junk.

Why would US amps use LM caps?

Anyways I could use some help but it seems nobody wants to.

RE amps doesn't answer the phone, they dont return calls, they dont return emails.

Its ridiculous

hit up Shawn King on FB. His profile pic is some old DSM Rockford amps. He fixes amps and might be able to help you, or at least send you to someone else who can

 
Had that amp before. It died about a month after install. Seen a lot of AX amps dead over the years and you shouldnt spend to much money trying fixing it. It's a cool amp and it sounds really nice but it didnt outperformed the audison 2.9 I replaced it with.

I think Dirk still works there but a website without updates for over a year is never a good sign.

Yeah, put the probes on the power wire and ground wire of the amplifier. Multimeter on DC. Do not put it on the wires that go to your speakers. M
