These components are black with like heatshrink tails coming off the top tv2 in the lower left of the power board but in this image the back panels are upside down so they would be in the upper right in this image next to those 2 big caps. -
No its TV2 the black one with the looks like a heatshrink tail coming off the top. Near the 2 big caps on the lower left of the board. Still cant upload my jpegs....... Lower left of the power supply board not the amp board. Theres 2 of them black next to the big power caps cant read the other one either or the thermal caulk or whatever it is has ruined it.

Hi, I live in Italy (Veneto), in a little village in the province of Vicenza, close to Venice, among vineyards of white grape. I have been in USA (California) many times for holidays. Unfortunately I am better to write than to speak! You see me in Klipsch Forum as a “new member” because I lost my account and I was not able to recover it, I’m an old member even if I write a few times, I like to read your topics. Around twenty years ago I purchased from Mr Bob Crites, very kind person which I met on Ebay, a lot of Klipsch components. My Klipschorn were assembled by my woodworker in Italy. At that time I found an AL3 crossover, but now I’d like to built a AK3 in two parts (impossible to find an original) because I want to exploit the original input terminal tray. So far I have not yet bought the Type AK-3 Rebuild Kit from Michael Crites because I want to be sure to find all components for the AK3. Let me know for the components, thank you very much Kind regards Giuseppe -
well ...sometimes good , sometimes not so good , general recovery is on a good way , so the next surgery can be scheduled for early december , than I got both behind me and hope to go back to work in 2025 ! Let´s see ..... -

Raising the wattage will not change much. If the resistance and the voltage stay the same, then the same amount of heat will be generated by the resistor, whether it's a 5w resistor or a 50w resistor. The best thing you can do is relocate the resistor from the capacitors to reduce the heat they are subjected to. Moving the resistor and using thermal epoxy to secure it to the plate is the best option; this will transfer the heat to the plate, and half that plate is exposed to the outside. I have been rebuilding these for years. I rebuild them all using a board mounted 820 ohm 5W resistor, and I have never had one come back with a cap issue. I also only use Rubicon caps rated for 2000 Hours @ 130C.
