From StudioElectronics:
“Note: in recent years many H3000’s have come to us with dead power supplies, sometimes with customer comments about smoke from the motherboard and burning smells. These problems are nearly always caused by shorted capacitors, which can cause additional failures in the power supply circuits. In these cases repair and testing can be very time consuming because the motherboards have dozens of capacitors in parallel, there’s no easy way of individually testing them, and often many (or most) need to be replaced.”
Full service check up runs around $800-1000, good for people who want to keep this beast in their studio!
