According to Tom, since he has recently gone into repairing the ALS amps from Ameritron he’s found wrong parts on the boards, inferior parts on the boards, wirining errors, and improper adjusts straight from the factory. It takes him hours upon hours to go through a brand new unit and make it right. Many hours he often doesn’t charge for or else the repair will be ridiculously out of site. When he was involved in a discussion where he divulged what he could on these amps fresh off the line and the work they needed to be “made right” you’d probably get the feeling that the best advice is not to buy any of the solid state amps. Older units might be ok but it seems as time went on the lack of QC has ruined them. This “ halt” might be permanent and there’s probably a signal here.
