Right, Hal. Little red reset button.
If it's regular solder pads, I can handle that, provided I can find the correct replacement part.
If it's the new surfacemount solder, I'm sol.
Jim Nahh, that will never be surface mount. Likely wires on it. Should be readily available, should be a name on it. Manual says 1.6A I think for the 60W amp. Sorry about that, guess reading isn't my best subject. I still hate arc fault breakers. Not as much as I do. One of the biggest frauds. Never been proven to have saved one life yet alone actually worked. Only thing they do is cause problems and make money for the manufacturers. Now they are expanding the use of ground fault (GFCI) for no real reason except to make money. -Hal

I recall about 45 years ago while working for Executone going to a service call at a car dealership with low volume on the paging system. I asked if anything was done with the system recently. Fortunately a guy in the service dept. admitted he added a speaker from car radio recently so they could hear the system better in their office. You all probably have an idea what I found - an 8 ohm speaker wired directly. It was above an intact ceiling tile with a pillow wrapped around it because it was so loud.

That was my first thought when I read this thread, only because I've seen this in the wild as well. If this is what your problem actually is, the impedance meter would have shown that in the first few minutes of troubleshooting. Anyone that does a lot of work with amps and PA systems owes it to themselves to get that meter.
The very second you disconnect that 8 ohm speaker, the load will stabilize and the volume coming out of the other speakers will be enough to wake your neighbors dog.
Sometimes the thoughts in my head get so bored, they go for a stroll through my mouth. This is rarely a good thing.

There is a one second fix for that. Simply disconnect the speaker wires from the rear of the amp and connect them to 120V with something like a line cord and clip leads. In less than one second any speakers without transformers will be destroyed. Those with transformers will be fine. Might want to warn your customer before you do it to cover their ears.  -Hal
