As I have a pair of these Rotel tuner amps in from the same customer, I thought I should sign the twin as I did last time.

The yellow glue of death.

So, a funny title, maybe. This is a condition that we (the electronics trade) are finding more and more with a certain area of the world manufacturing. There are a lot of issues with domestic speaker subs. After the amp boards within these units are produced, the manufacturer applies a compound to the boards, a type of glue/fixative. After a while, this bakes hard like a biscuit and turns to carbon like. In turn, it starts conducting electrical current. This is not a good thing, so it kills it. Sometimes, we can pick it all off and replace the faulty components, but sometimes not.

Some of the water marks go right through the veneer, adds a little patina maybe.

Workshop Repairs

There are lots of repairs waiting action in the workshop. Realistically, any item coming in after today (22nd of November) may not make the bench until the new year unless it’s something really silly like “have you plugged it in” Dave & Geoff are getting on well with the list though.
