Hi All,
My ST-120 is approaching 10years of very enjoyable service - thanks Bob!
I have one hassle: the paint on the transformers started cracking and flaking off.
Whilst I did use engine enamel and thought that I'd prepped the surface, it's letting go on the end-caps (the laminates seem to be OK).
Interestingly, its the power tranny's top cover (so it's very visible) and the LHS output tranny's cap at the front.
We live on the coast so the salt will speed up the rust (which has already begun) so I'm going to need to repaint.
Not wanting to deconstruct the amp, does anyone have any suggestions on how I could fix this properly whilst keeping the amp in one piece - or should I bite the bullet and remove the trannies?
Thanks,
Anthony
