Title: ampeg ss140c heat sink
Post by: ilyaa on November 26, 2017, 02:29:02 AM
hey!

any thoughts for a suitable replacement heat sink for an ampeg ss140c?

got a salvage amp here and the heat sink is just *gone!*

someone must have removed it used it for.....something???

like the one in this pic: https://gbmedia.azureedge.net/usercontent/gear/3421921/p2_uhxjnxoft_ss.jpg?maxwidth=500

i doubt ill find that part - so im thinking maybe some of you guys have thoughts on what a good material would be to use/where to get something easy to fasten on there??

Looks like two square pieces of plain old vanilla heat sink stock.

But I often find useful heat sinks in old stereo receivers from the trash.
