Here is the link to the repair/upgrade service. It appears to be quite old so no idea if Russ is still in business. But it verifies what should be looked at.
Can an owner's manual and schematic be found for an Electron Kinetics eagle 7a power amp
Hi Guy’s, out there in Audiogon world! I just picked up an eagle 7a power amp, the guy that I got the amp from said it had been in storage for years and it was still in the shipping crate but no owner’s manual or schematic. can anybody tell me if this is a good amp or a waste of money for $300.00, I don’t know much about this power amp, but I would like to power a pair of Acoustats 6+6 I am willing to purchase a manual and schematic from anyone on the forum if that is possible. The strange thing about this amp is it don’t have a power switch. and are there any techs that can work on this amp, what things should be updated on this amp since it has been sitting in a crate. I had the guy plug it up and it played fine, does the a after 7 mean anything on this amp on the model number? I would feel comfortable having looked over and not after it goes up in smoke. any help would be appreciated. Thanks, guys!
imhififan, thank you for finding the schematic and atmasphere I will take your advice, I kind of figured that semiconductor's will be hard to find, so I did reach out to Russ at Eagle -Audio and he told me after 6 years of not offering service, it will be some time, months, before he is ready to service Eagle 7 series again and he needs get his service processes back in order, but he was offering me an Eagle 2c so he told me in 2014 a full rebuild of an Eagle 7 is $ 1,995.00. I asked him if he would sell me a copy of the Manual and he never answered my email nor did he offer to sell me a schematic, so when I see poor communication about service from someone that I'm going to pay for service, I don't purchase their product or services in other words he would only answer questions he feIt like answering and he did tell me a eagle7a is not what I need, because it's too much power for me, even though I'm using this amp with Acoustats 6+6. but you guys have been great with advice that was not offered from Eagle- Audio. |
@gmosley Any competent technician can replaced filter capacitors! You don't need to send the amp to someone who specializes in them if that's all it needs. |
