Hello,
My name is Ken, and I am writing from a far away place. The nearest major city is 600 miles away, and advice regarding my equipment has not been within reach. I want to be respectful of this forum and follow protocol. I don't know what the appropriate section would be to post my question. I have a couple Altec tube amps (1520t Bridging amps) that came from our local movie theater. The amps sat for a couple decades, or more, before I got them. They seem to need a really long time (an hour or more) to get really warmed up and sounding good. Prior to that, they sound pretty bad. I had to have the power transformers rewound on both amps. Aside from that, everything is original. Is it possible that the caps are not working properly, after sitting so long? Please advise me where in the forum I should take my question.
Respectfully,
Ken
