Repair of Butler Audio Amp


Hi, I own a pair of Butler TDB 2250 amps (used as bridged monoblocks). Shortly after purchasing the first, the power switch died. This was some years ago and when I contacted Butler they repaired if for free aside from shipping.

Now, within a 3 month span, both amps have experienced failure of the power switches. Fortunately, they are in the 'on' position but unplugging is difficult in my installation and I really don't want to leave on all the time.

Anyone know of someone who can replace the switches??

 

Thanks for any help.

Why not reach out to David Belles again.  His website is... www.powermodules.com and appears to still be active.  Even if not worth shipping them to him for repair, perhaps he'll send you upgraded replacement switches you can have a local Tech install.

Replacing a power switch is a simple job that any electronics repair shop can do! Just make sure the replacement part is up to the task (voltage and current ratings), and better yet, install an RC snubber to protect the switch and make it last longer.

 

Thanks for the suggestion. 

I live near Green Bay, WI. I used to do quite a bit of business with Hi-Fi Heaven there. Don't know if they have a good tech guy or not. Also Suess Electronics and Sound World in Appleton are not far away. Any experience with repairs at these places??
