Mike Manilla Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I need help!! I have the KA-1000-THX Amp and in need of either a part number or where to purchase. I refuse to send in my Amp to Sybesma Electronis and pay the $240.00 for a $2.00 part!! The part needed is the potentiomer that controlls the volumne (gain controll). Klipsch says they do not release the information and is forcing me to send in my Amp for repairs (not providing schmatics). On the Pre board THX1215 PRE Rev. 02 and P/N: 015-300400-101ZR I need (VR2 location) the potentiomer (gain controll) B100K ink stamped (partical part number) on the top and molded on the back is (Tawian Alpha). Any help is appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Manilla Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I am getting no where with Klipsch...I am being held hostage and forced into sending in my Amp to Sybesma and having to pay them ransom of $300.00. All I need is a $2.00 part from Alpha...I have some of the part numbrer RD902F-20-XXD-B100K They will not even help me with this poorly made dime a dozen Taiwan part... Klipsch 2-year warranty is a SLAP in the face for an inferior product I thought was good. Live and learn paying $1500 for a piece of crap Taiwan product.

Klipsch Employees Trey Cannon Posted February 25, 2011 Klipsch Employees Share Posted February 25, 2011 To be fair, the CS team did not have that schematic until today... They have rules in place to keep production information in house...If the amp is in production, don't give out the schematic. The main EE that would have been able to answer your question was in China when you contacted us. Who ever you contacted just didn't think to ask me. I would have sent you the info about the part, with out sending the schematic. As you state in your post, it is a 100k Ohm part. As for parts, we don't have any for that amp, or for most any amp we build. They are all vendor replaceable or outside repair or buy a new amp. It's not like the old days when we kept board level parts in stock. So, IF they would have had the schematic and could have found the part info, they still could not send you a part.

Mike Manilla Posted February 25, 2011 Author Share Posted February 25, 2011 Thank you for your e-mail, when this amp goes (which it will soon) out I am replacing it with another brand.I am glad that I did not pay anywhere $1500 for that Amp, after looking inside it should have retailed for $500.00 for a China product.I am old school, where I used to repair electronics (McIntosh) and never had a problemgetting part numbers to make any repairs.I found a close match and it worked, caused me hours of research and frustration fora $3.00 part.

Any help is appreciated. I have the same amp. It burned the pcb amplification. I can measure the potentiometer and give you the measurements. Could you give me detailed photos of the PCB up and down ?? My problem is greater. cesarpaz46@gmail.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
