Jon47 Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Is it possible to get a photo of the pcb while the amp is apart for the binding post repair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonK Posted November 27, 2018 Share Posted November 27, 2018 Hi Jon,I hope Shovel won't mine me explain as I know the amp and the cause of this slight screw damage.Correct the amp has been opened before.It had a loose speaker terminal just before it was sold to Garfield.The previous owner wanted to make sure it was in perfect order before sale to Garfield.Looks like Garfield sold it to Shovel.I happened to be present when it was done. The slight damage was done using cordless driver. The other screws were undone by hand screw driver hence no damage to others.Hopefully this explains the issue.Good luck with the sale Shovel.Regards,Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards, Jon Yes this is the purchase history and thank you for your comments. I have been chasing Plinius Jonno today for a replacement binding post from NZ but if that fails I have worked out the model WBT and can get it after market from the USA. When Chis from Kimil electronics fixes it I will get him to service the amp so it is correct for the new owner. I am not sure if the Plinius factory has paypal or cc facilities.

shovel Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 The correct WBT silver coloured binding posts are no longer available to fix the bent one. So I am going to replace all 4 pairs to the next model up the WBT chain so they all match. They will be gold instead of silver in colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
