QUAD 405 Vintage Current Dumping Amplifier 100W My DIY Project




This is my "remake" of first, legendary, Current Dumping Amplifier : QUAD 405.
This is one mix, my personal mix, of  his varius  release, Quad 405 I , Quad 405 II etc.



My DiY Amplifier QUAD 405


I made a stereo version with prototipe in year 2007.
Replacement components:

IC1: TLE2071 OpAmp
TR9-TR10: MJ15003

YAMAHA A-1 AMPLIFIER NATURAL SOUND DIRECT DC, FROM 70's WITH LOOK Pt.II


Pt.II

No Fault!!! 

Every component is OK, power BJT are OK!!

So I put new main chord and give power.
Both channel have some volts of offset in their output and the idle current is too low.

So, following the Service Manual I can set the correct value of bias and offset trimmers.





Next step is to change the DISC lamp

YAMAHA A-1 NATURAL SOUND AMPLIFIER DIRECT DC , FROM 70's WITH LOOK Pt.I


Not working Amplifier, Yamaha A-1 all Black metal.
I'm almost sure it is broken or it has big trouble because the main cable is cut.


Yamaha A-1
So I start, open the case.....wath I find is...Dust


Dust inside..


I remove dust from jewel...

Yamaha A-1 inside, without dust!!
Inside A-1 demonstrate his particular design, Two Power Transformers and two big capacitors.
Power amplifer circuit is splitted on 2 boards+1 an 2 Big Heat Sinks.

The input and VAS stage is a full of components board, there is also an other little board(+1) only for to mount  the Yamaha double n channel JFET 2SK100

Next Step: let's find trouble!!!
