Hi,
I got my Melos for $200 from a dealer who took it in on trade with a bad channel. The auto bias was not working.
I was able to find a repair shop in Atlanta with a wonderful tech there who was happy to share his knowledge about the unit with me. It took changing one resistor, resoldering some cold joints and replacing one 50 cent op amp. The amp was phenominal sounding. My biggest problem with it was the depth which required pulling my stereo cabinet out from the wall about a foot and a half!
I sold it to a fellow in South Korea for better than $1200. A tidy profit for an hours work.
I still have 2 McShane modded Citation 2s and 2 Golden Tube SE-40s and an AR d-115 to play with so I'm not completetly without.
Thanks for your reply!
Regards,
Bill
