I built a Hafler 500 from a kit in 1973-4. Back then the kits were less than the built amps, and since Hafler was a Dynaco guy, he knew kits would sell. Replaced the on-off switch in about 1975 when the factory had us update the original one.
Had it biased the other day. Nothing has failed and it still runs like a champ. Repair person was totally amazed as it measured like new.
Sometimes a person gets lucky, right?
Cheers!
