BMW, I appreciate the help... I'm just NOT mechanically-inclined, so there's no way I would attempt any of this. If this was a hand-wired amp, MAYBE I'd try to replace a part, but I'm not touching a PCB. I did such a poor job on the simple task of changing pick-ups that I can't trust any work that I do myself!

The more info I'm given here will help me decide whether it's worth it to get it fixed, or to sell it and buy a newer DRRI without any problems.

Well, it looks like a tech is going to have to give that opto-coupler roach a looking over (prolly best to just replace). Then go from there with a DVM. Maybe inquire about approximate cost of fixing the thing, before taking to an amp tech?

Good luck!

I was given a ballpark estimate for fixing the ticking, but now it appears that the repair will be more extensive. Probably not by much though, since it would all be done at once.

The amp tech that was recommended by my guitar tech works out of a shop, and has limited hours. The only time I could go there would be on a Saturday, so I have some time to decide what to do.

Thanks.
