I am so glad even with the hard practice sessions you ahve made time to fool around that just means you are enjoying yourselves with the craft that you have chosen. many are not as lucky as you.

After I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any approach you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

Success. I disassembled, and found zero ceramic caps (none anywhere near the transformer. must be the US version or upgraded PMU?). Either way, all I had to replace was the 7815, and 7915 connected to the heat sync. I tested the transformer and it tested OK. Re-caped the two 407uf 35v electrolytics next the heat synced op amps, and 220uf 100v near the transformer (just for good measure). The caps looked “iffy.” Fired it up, and of course everything sounds great (as great as can be without an added input transformer…yet).

I used the Fairchild replacements for the 7815 and 7915… I might be crazy, but it sounded smoother… still hot as all hell. I’m just going to run it with the top off for now. I want to do the rail mod, I’m already shopping around for those Sowters, on and on and on, and I can see how this little thing can be addicting. I still need to do more “input transformer research.” I learned quite a bit off this. THANKS!! I’ll post with Variac results. These heat syncs are UNTOUCHABLE. But lucky me, I didn’t have a bad transformer… the only two places I could find these transformers was Germany, and Michigan, for around $50.

I hear ya! A blown power cap u say? hmmm… i would say fixing stuff that connects to the wall and could potentially kill you – you should think three times before you fiddle with. 100V variac could work – but make sure the machine is grounded before you do anything, or you could kill yourself by mistake. Having said that – on my machine a burnt out cap shorted and killed the transformer:

I really hope you respond… With the burnt out power cap and burnt out transformer was the ada8000 still powering up (green lights=yes, but no audio signal pick up) ? I don’t want to spend too much time on a completely dead unit (and complete I mean there is light [which i could assume would come from off the tap] but no audio signal). Any way, maybe I just need to buckle down and take a dive… If you have any recommendations of more then just one cap to replace then that would help. And one last question… would I be able to run a 100V transformer without mod-ing anything else? It would be cheap for me to replace the caps, and buy a $20 variac to run at 100v (or MAYBE find a 100v transformer for internal, and ditch the variac). I look at schematics and go, “oh crap, I need about 4 years of electronics training to REALLY break this down.”
