    Kenwood KA-94 worth fixing?

    The original fuse was not in the block and I want to make sure I'm reading this right. Do I need a 250v 3A fuse for this unit? Should I get fast blow or slow blow? Are these 6mm x 30mm fuses? Thank you for any help you can provide.

    Pioneer VSX-514K Amp error then shuts down

    Thanks a million Natsukage. I have ordered the part and will gather the necessary implements to do the job. It will be a couple of weeks before the part arrives and I don't want to take the board out until I have everything I need in front of me so I can do the job and reassemble without...

    Pioneer VSX-514K Amp error then shuts down

    They both tested good. Using the diode test setting on my meter 8.0 in only one direction each. You called it - that chip is bad. Now the fun begins of the tear down. Are those power leads crimped to the posts coming out of the board? How do you go about removing them? Do I have to cut...
