Leak stereo 70 just went pop!

and a headphone bezel

That shouldn't be too hard to track down. You may find a toggle switch bezel fits.

Should it look anything like the bezel on this Neutric jack socket?

Very bizarre but now it’s working perfectly on ALL inputs ! Sounds bloody good too

I’ve just been looking on there too and found plenty of the nut type 6.5mm ones but I think it should be a gnarled type or a plain chrome ring , I know it doesn’t make a lot of difference but my ocd won’t allow me to fit the wrong type ( coz I’m nuts )

Sounds like it could be a dry joint or broken connection. You can poke the insides with a wooden dowel while the amp is on and plugged into the system. If there is a bad joint and you find it with the dowel you’ll hear it through the speakers.

I might have a plastic bezel for a 6.35mm socket I can send you, if I can find it?

Hi Paul, thanks for the advice and the offer of the bezel which I have now got.

Thanks

Is there a capacitor fitted across the power switch?
I understand these are used to reduce arcing inside the switch.

I've had vintage kit in the past where this cap burns out after prolonged storage....there may be a crack and small puff of smoke causing one to kill the power in a panic. Then when you power back up.....no perceived fault

Worth a check.

Well I now wonder if the fuse with the spring in it could have made the pop sound ? I have had the amp running all day yesterday and for most of this morning and it’s fine .
