Rotel RA840

Last year a friend asked me to look at his amp as no longer working.
Took it apart and noticed a few poorly caps so replaced all the caps in the PSU and some on the main power/tone board.
Replaced the blown fuse and plugged it in - stayed on for around 5 seconds then the fuse blew :(

Checked everything and all looked good but told him to buy another one (he had it since new!!)

Should I skip it or have another crack - as in is it worth saving?

Sorry no assistance was offered. Usually some of the techs will give advice. Must have missed the post

No problem.

Shorted transistor, resistor, cap, dry joint, problem diode, take your pick to look for first but you do need a little more time for a reply.
