An old friend gave me a Kustom Hustler 24-L amp. It worked great for about two hours then it stopped, I opened up the amp and noticed two wires had either corroded and shorted or heated and shorted out, I stripped back the wires and resoldered the wires back on the parts of which im not sure what they are called, , There are two of them attached to the bottom of the amp board with two bolts and four wires attached ,both parts sit on top of each other, After resoldering ,the wires heated up again and actually remelted the solder, I think the parts are bad, Can anyone help me? I have pictures of the parts if anyone wants me to email them, This is a great looking amp in perfect condition ,(silver metal flake)It was used back in 1970 for about two months and has been sitting since... Any help or advice will be very welcomed!! Thank You ,MusicforGod...

Hi, these parts are stacked resistors.They drop down the 40 volts that the output stage needs to 12 volts for the rest of the amp. You have a short some where down stream of the resistors. You are best leaving this to a repair tech.
