I find distressed audio equipment and bring them back to life.
Here is a photo of some of the pieces I've worked on:
Top Shelf:
Adcom GP-555 It's actually dead. I cannot get the left channel to work at all. Resoldered the entire signal path, replaced the opamps, cleaned the controls, bypassed the controls.. Just cannot find where the issue is...
McIntosh MC7108: On/off circuit issues. This one I didn't really fix, just bypassed the affected circuit, because I don't care about turning it on and off via a switch. I use it every day.
Second Shelf:
Carver TFM-15cb: Needed new lights in the meters and the input level pots cleaned. That is all the one pictured needed. I have another one that required the same things, but also had to recap it. The one in the photo will need new capacitors before too long. Great sounding amps, but not very well built.
Bottom Shelf:
Soundcraftsman PRO-PA2X200: This is actually an amp my wife has owned for over 30 years. The power supply caps went out and needed to be replaced.
Here is a photo of said capacitors:
