I always replace the gate resistors, and the driver transistors, and the PWM IC, and sometimes the protect circuit transistors as well. Not a bitch for me at all. I got good equipment, good techniques and the proper replacement parts.. Makes it all easy in the end. The New SAX-100.4's will be in around mid-late November last I heard. Sorry I don't know anyone selling one right now. I will talk to Jacob and see if once it gets closer to shipment time he might have one I can sell you (spares for replacements that he may or may not be holding..) I can sell you two SAX-100.2's, alot more power, takes up almost twice as much room and doesn't have the fancy controls like the SAX-100.4 but depends on if you need all that flexibility or not, the two 100.2's might serve you fine. The Refurb 100.2's are $199 each shipped.

Thanks for posting the pics of the repair job. Nice to let customers see what they get when they send their stuff here to dB-r. No I don't like the peanuts. What I do with them, I have a huge box full of peanuts, and a big scoop. I dump all the peanuts in that box and re-use them for packing around my refurbs that I send out. The refurbs are in their original product cartons so the peanuts don't get all over the amp and the peanuts are an easy way to fill up the gaps between the product carton and the shipping carton. Most repairs come in here NOT in their original boxes, no product carton, the amps are just thrown into a shipping box with bubble wrap, peanuts, foam, paper, you name it.... That's how I usually send them back. I was running low on peanuts for my big box of peanuts, but I had a surplus of other shipping material so I stole your peanuts and gave you my other packing material, which was probably far superior anyway, but the peanuts work best for packing around shipments of my refurbished amps because the product carton protects the amp from getting banged up inside the shipping box and the peanuts are quick, easy and sufficient for that purpose.

Here's some pics I took of it: The amp was very dirty, and someone had "rattled it to death" literally. These mosfets stayed as I removed the board from the heatsink. We rebuilt the power supply and output section for him. I am sure jonnylowkon will post more pics and info when he gets it all installed and working. There is extra soldering work that has been done to help reduce the chance of vibration damage GREATLY. But you cannot see it in these pics, hopefully he will get some closeups. We were pressed for time as usual when we did this amp so pics were limited. Chris dB-r Electronics

Please do update here when you get around to checking the amp out. ALOT of people on here, and all the other forums are running my refurbs already, but they don't put, "refurb SAZ-3000D" or whatever in their sigs, just "SAZ-3000D". There are quite a few out there, and my warranty department doesn't exist so far. We do a really good job on the SAZ refurbs, they are literally "rebuilt to last". Please post the pics of the inside as well. I have some more pics of what it looked like when it came here, I may post some of those too so people can see the dramatic differences from start to finish.
