    Info of Relays

    Hi everyone,

    Hope this is the right forum to ask this.
    I have a power supply from a very big audio amplifier which is 20+ years old.
    I want to replace the relays in it.
    Firstly, should I bother? Are relays reliable and should work for much more than 20 years?
    If I should replace it as a precaution, please help me identify what the relays are.

    There are 3 relays, 1 x black and 2 x white.

    The white ones say 'FKD130P' which from a website tells me it's equivalent to NTE R53-1D30-24. If this is the case, then that's easy enough to get.

    The black on however has only 'Potter & Brumfield T90 Series' on it. How can I tell what model this is or what a suitable replacement would be?

    TIA

      Sorry, I forgot to mention that.
      This is for a Genesis V amplifier. I believe the same model amplifier was used for multiple Genesis systems.

      The Genesis speakers had active servo subs in them, and this was the amplifier which drove them.

        I would not replace the relays as a preventive maintenance as they are used very little in an amplifier so they should last a very long time.

          Polk Audio RTi100 Plate Amplifier won't power on and intermittently honks and buzzes
          by MrCommunistGen
          My childhood best friend was killed about 9 years ago. His parents are finally letting go of his things, and they offered me his Polk RTi100 tower speakers. The Polk RTi100 towers are one of a handful of designs from the early 2000s that is a full range 3-way tower with a built-in self-powered subwoofer. This is accomplished with a plate amp integrated into the speaker input panel.

          I think they used them for a while, but they've been sitting for at least a few years now. After about 40 hours of driving to their house and back (both they and I have moved in the last 9 years) I got...

          How to test Subwoofer Amplifier with only a multimeter
          by jinu_j
          Hi Folks

          Need some advice on how to test a subwoofer amplifier if i have access to only a multimeter.

          Problem
          I have a Boston Acoustics active Subwoofer (soundware S). Its rated output is 200W. But the output i am getting is very low i can barely hear/feel it even if put the gain at max. I replaced all the capacitors in the Subwoofer amplifier but still no change.

          Is there anyway to test this without getting an oscilloscope/Function generator to see if the fault is with amplifier, driver or the source??

          Any advice would be appreciated...

          Mackie CR4 amplifier no sound
          by UserXP
          Hi, people.

          I've got an amplifier assembly from Mackie CR4 parts. It's just an amplifier, there was no speaker housing, so I used my set of CR4s to test it.

          Anyway, upon connecting everything and hooking the "new" amplifier to an audio source, the sound played clearly and strongly for the first ten seconds. I was happy it was working. Then the sound started to fade out during the playback until it was no more. After it had "dropped to zero", there were two very short intervals of sound playing at the normal volume, as if the amplifier was trying to...

          Aiwa GX-770 Amplifier Protection Circuit
          by waspie
          I am by no means an expert on this type of troubleshooting but I can follow direction real well.

          I'm no stranger to using a meter and soldering iron so I'm looking for some help in fixing an old amplifier/system I got. This is part of a system "V-1200" by Aiwa where there are several components. My first problem seems to be the amplifier.

          It seems to be in protection. When first turned on I hear the inital relay coming on but never the second relay which is connected to the protection IC. I don't see any obvious bad components on the board. If I ground the...
