Vintage Phase Linear P-3800 home audio stereo preamp Solid State weak channel repair with caps!

Cool Phase Linear. The owner purchased it on ebay. The old 1 liner, Output is weak, maybe I dont know how to hook it up correctly! Nope, how about all the caps were crusty & leaking! It was a gamble, but easily repaired. The preamp was very nice to work on. Nicely laid out, easy access to components. I put in a pile of new caps. The preamp is working fine now. Too bad it is cosmetically challenged. He has the matching Phase linear amp. You have to be careful if you operate a vintage Phase Linear 400 amp. They did not have a speaker protect relay. So, if the finals short, they will blast your speaker coils with 80vdc! Fry's the voice coils at the speed of light! Assigned Nick name: Flame Linear.
