How not to pack a TOCA

[Colin Wonfor]

I am posting this to warn others, these amps are bloody heavy, so when droped they smash things, I have not opened the chassis yet but from the twisted chassis I suspect a mess lies inside.

Well the beasty is nearly all back together with new caps and FET,s 10off plus a few other bits, repainted after I bashed all the metal work as flat as I can. So early next week I will fire it up and see if all is well. phew it was hard work and heavy, cutting a re-taping heatsinks, fixing right angle brackets and now to sort the front out.
Will post pics soon.

Dead bits replaced on one PCB and brackets added and heat sink is now Black.

Hi Col, can I ask who did this SECA go to after you fixed it up?
