<p>Thank you Norman! That’s great news! I have no reason to believe it’s bad other than my meter. I’m testing and replacing all the small caps and resistors (most of the resistors are 15-20% out of spec). Figured I would check this one also. But the amp was working and did sound good. <br></br> <br></br> <cite>Norman S Braithwaite said:…</cite></p>
