I've been around audio for close to 20 years now, but I haven't, nor really want to, work on gear myself.
However, I recently picked up a S7150 and of course that person shipping it didn't pack it correctly (shocker...) and it has some damage.
Two of the bindings posts are broken/loose, really just the black plastic boxes around them, but those hold the posts, so they are necessary.
I removed the top to see what I could see - a reviewer stopped by my shop and asked 'do you love your family?' but I hadn't a clue to what he was talking about. Apparently touching certain parts of the amp can kill or knock me on my arse. So, I stopped. The amp has not been plugged in for at least two weeks now - but as you see in the photo, what is it that I can not or should not touch - the toroidal transformers or the black caps on each amp board, or both, or something else?
I have read ways to drain the power, but that really isn't for me. Any suggest that will keep me alive?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
