Hello Everyone,
Just purchased a Dumont model 526 stereo console with a Garrard turntable. And found a Eagles Hotel California album at the same flea market. Excited, but knowing this beast is older than me (and I'm old) ... Brought it home.. rewired the power and plugged it in.. It worked! The FM radio and the turntable... I was so excited... Sounds awesome! However, after a few minutes or less I smelled something burning. So, I unplugged and pulled the back panel off. Plugged back in and identified where the smoke came from. Power supply or amplifier... not sure... There is two components on the side that, I believe look like transformers... That's where the smoke was coming from.... so, I turned it off and ..... found this thread..... I'm sure most people would ask if this power supply/ amplifier is worth fixing and/or replacing.... or just put a new amp and hook up to the speakers.. Thanks!
