Welding with a CB linear

It's supposed to look that way? I thought someone had poured tar into the amp and then set it on fire.
 
this looks like one he did and it was kicked back to him after it had an opps...
only way i can think he had his hands in it after it when bang..
1. the 24 caps
2. the BBI label in the PCB
3. 5 wall balance resistors

The cap across that output transformer should have never gotten hot enough to melt the solder if all the fans stopped. No one can say it was his fault or the result of operator abuse but there was more going on than a fan not cooling a metal clad capacitor .

  • @ Hambones amps:
    Does anyone know if you can replace the 2290 in a galaxy dx 93t twin turbine with a 2sc2879 red dot? If so, what would have to be tuned?
  • @ ShadowDelaware:
    Hambones the entire amp section would have to be retuned, and the rf transformers re wrapped.
