I finished rebuilding the output stage of an svt 3 pro...replaced all 8 mosfets with same from Mouser, as well as resistors, burned zeners, and few caps. I did not attempt to match the mosfets.
I have to admit this was take 2 as I first repaired the amp without finding the burned 13v zeners and fried the mosfets I replaced...
So powered up with bulb limiter and the MOSFET rails came up to +\-37 or so removed limiter and they came up to +\-67 so OK... Ran the amp for hour or so and still ok.
Question is since I did not screen the mosfets from Mouser, should I take any other measurements before declaring it repaired?
Thinking Perhaps measure voltage across the .47 ohm resistors to confirm the output stage is balanced...Other? Thanks.
NB this job got me thinking that it is a crap shoot to warrantee the output stage of a head of this type. Probably very easy to fry..
