Hi everyone, i just found this amp that seems to be a
homebrewn thingy with prefabricated boards. it says
82180 on the PCBs, if anyone has a thought.

anyhow it's got two huge toroid transformers on it
(about 15x7 cm) and two 1000uF 100V electrolytics
which i'm a little bit unsure how to discharge,
normaly i'd just shortcircuit it but these thingys are
huge (6x12 cm) and looks like it could be bad news to
do it. I was thinking of using a lightbulb, is that a
good idea? How to do it otherwise?

thanks

Karl
