Great that you did not find anything in the driver section blown! Usually, those direct coupled designs mostly blow the whole chain of transistors! Great clip. Thanks.

Your welcome! It's funny, I had gotten better about things like that. Then I started shooting video, and the distraction had me making the same old mistakes again. Hence the tape. 😁

Nice repair! It's always good to see an old Eico 443 out in the wild and being used in a shop. I do hope you make a short video on the speaker terminal replacement, just to share possibilities of what can be installed to replace the stock spring ones.

Thank you! Funny thing, I was just getting out of bed this morning and thinking about doing a short video on the terminal replacement.

Best of luck to you. Remember, there are only two reasons for a unit to be stuck in protection mode: Excess DC on an output or a defect in the protection stage.

Incredibly interesting & well explained tutorial as usual Ray, thanks again for the invaluable service you continuously provide. Just 1 question here: @ 10:33 you said the driver transistors are only the 2 right-most transistors, those on the heatsinks. But since that entire schematic is of the driver board, would the rest of the transistors on it not also be considered driver transistors ?
@raygianelli3612

No, because there are many other components on the board that perform different tasks, such as the bias transistor or the input differential pair. Think of it as akin to an output stage; every transistor on it is not an output transistor. The 2 transistors on the board are actually driving the output transistors. The output transistors provide current gain, and the drivers provide voltage gain. The product of voltage and current is power (watts).

Nice, got lucky the white rabbit was stopped by a fuse. What curve tracer is that? I wish I had one for the 3000a I had. Bad enough finding replacement transistors but matching was fun. Thankfully there were individual bias adjustments. Still would have made the job better to match them.

That curve tracer is an old Eico 443. I used to have an old boat anchor Tek 574. Took up a lot of bench real estate but it was a great bit of gear!
