A quick trip down memory lane. Remember the SWTPC Tiger .01? I had a couple of amps from SWTPC. I loved all of them. I remember they had a problem with blowing up! I fried a Universal Tiger a few times and I think I blew up a few T .01's, I always kept a stock of MJ802-4502 transistors in stock, and the RCA drivers, so I could get back on line in a few hours. Still have a few of those I think. Anyway, what was it about that amp that made it melt transistors? Was it the transistors? I recall the .01 used MJ1500 something outputs and that was a part change. I know one of my UT oscillated to death while I was doing some work on it, but that was only once. I recall it was a great amp if you could keep it working. Mine seemed more reliable after I ripped off the "protection transistors" with a pair of pliers! I at least had fewer parts to replace when it blew up! :D
