###? ?If I remember correctly, the 1st DTR-2000L's had this mickey mouse fan in there for cooling.? Local dealer had the 1st one in stock.? ? We all laughed when we saw the small fan...that killed sales asap.? Later units had a squirrel cage blower.? Also, I believe the fil V was on the high side on both versions.? That high fil V issue has to be addressed asap, or ur 8877 won't last.? There was no grid over current protection either..... which can save the (megabuck tube).? There was no glitch resistor in the B+....and no step start for the B+.?
This is all stuff that can be sorted out... and has to be sorted out asap.? ? The HV filter caps? should probably be replaced...with 330 uf caps, or bigger.? Once that is all done, it should last.?
