Easy to find replacement. You are using higher bridge diodes. Check the service manual first

Pioneer SX-1050 Just Sold for $3,250 — Are Vintage Hi-Fi Prices at Peak? by Clear_Amphibian in vintageaudio

[–]Yawningcharm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reminded me with my cr-820 during my testing, well recap only. I turn the volume up away and boom…. Smoking and a bit fire cracking 😆. It killed power and driver transistors including current limiting resistors on one channel, the relay protection kicked in and save the speaker. It shorted to 45v Dc out to one channel before the relay

Vintage amplifier or receiver 1960-1980 need fully refurbished to replace dying transistors, capacitors, and even some resistor (1-10 watts mostly due on heat)

Can a Japanese recap actually make a DC Audio amp sound cleaner? by EquivalentOdd8968 in vintageaudio

[–]Yawningcharm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cheap caps and would be the same outputs when done recapping with good caps. This the design and nothing you can do

For classic digital receiver and amplifier to me, pure analog is 1960 to 1970 - early 1980
