Thats what it says on the pcb board. 2 years or 200000 note warranty. :lol: :LOL:

Now that the fan has quit working I get a few minutes out of it, then it starts shutting down and is blazing hot.
 
Sheesh. I can sit with a bottle of Patron Silver in front of the TV for 3 or 4 hours and play 200,000 notes. I think.

I'll get back to you on that later tonight. :D

I had a singer that tried that once. :lol: :LOL: Wasnt a pretty site!!
 
Is the fan proprietary, or does lit look like a regular computer style fan? You might be able to replace it yourself.
 
They are still in biz. Mike Soldano told me Andy was in the process of moving to a different building...Soldano and THD are walking distance from each other.

It just looks like a reg computer type fan. Fairly large. Its probably something that gets the voltage too it. Gonna be a pain in the butt to get it apart. The fan spins so its not bound up, but I smelled something bad. :lol: :LOL:

Maybe thats why their site is down. Good thing i have another Hotplate. Sucks being in the middle of tracking and having stuff break!
 
I emailed them earlier this year (I think it was March) looking for a Hot Plate for the tour and ended up getting a reply from Ed Degenaro. Had no idea he worked for them. Anyway, he told me they had no 4 ohm Hot Plates (what I was looking for) and were not building any until October or November. Thought that was a bit weird.
 
I had thought that they went out of business last year, it seemed musicians friend was having closeout sales on all the thd amps and I havent heard anything from them in a few yrs.
 
It is slow but I do not think they are out of business. Andy did just move everything some place else. I do not think he would do that and go out of business right after.
 
So it looks like I burned up this part 1N5359B 24 volt Zener Diode. Anyone know where I can get one? All the places I have found so far want me to buy 4000. :)

Check Digikey. http://search.digikey.com/scripts/DkSea ... 359BGOS-ND

Mouser will probably have them too.

Had my issues with Zener diodes over the years. I have used this exact part, but I think I got rid of all my extras.

.36 each, 3rd item down. Can also buy resistors, caps and fuses there too so you don't have one part cost you $8 or whatever in shipping. :)

Digikey was 1000pc minimum I think. Rupe sent me a link to Future Electronics...they had it and I ordered a few extra just in case. This was the only part that was bad in my Hotplate, unless the fan is fried too. But I think its ok.

Been an expensive couple weeks! Blowing up all kinds of stuff on this project. :lol: :LOL:

Huh, says over 2000 in stock on the third one down, and allowed me to put one in my shopping cart. Try this link:
