Orion 250 hcca gen 2 power supply blown
I have a gen 2 Orion 250 hcca that appears to need extensive power supply repairs, at least.
It appears that one side of the clamped transistors (FETs I think for this amp) are gone (several show a short), and perhaps several on the other side. The board shows some related damage, but looks to be usable. I think rectifiers are in this area too and may need to be replaced.
The small transformer standing on end is burnt up, I will probably have to order and wind a new one.
Several fluid electrolytic caps are obviously in bad shape. I already have all such caps for this amp on hand.
I do have access to several working versions of this amp, which should help.
Questions are:
1.) How best to start with repair.
2.) Replacement part suggestions for FETs, rectifiers, transformer core/winding, etc. I suppose I may be able to figure this out but any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help or feedback.
