Carver M-1.0t Amplifier Biasing. 200WPC, 1986.

Happy May 2nd everyone. Just because. I picked up this Carver M-1.0t amplifier at a garage sale last Fall. Purchased blindly for $100. Works great and is painfully loud. 200WPC into 8 ohms. My basement lights dim with the music.
Seems like many Carver pieces need to be recapped, and although I only gave this an auditory and visual inspection, it might be exempt for needing further work for now. However the exterior shows some wear, so who knows how many hours have elapsed on this.
Anyways, re-biased this tonight and it's even louder than it was prior to the adjustment.
Looking to pick up some additional Carver components. Good looking stuff for sure.

I used to drool over all the Carver components back in the day.
Was too pricey for me but I used to dream anyway.

I’ve never owned anything with that much power. Definitely looks to be built to be able to handle it for sure. Crank that guy up and let me know if your ceiling lights dim. 😅

that's a lot of power transistors! Those amps have an amazing amount of power per pound.

I seriously can’t believe the amount of power that thing puts out. And I’m so surprised that the power cord isn’t bigger.
