Beomaster 4400 (2419): 30 Hour 60dB Test

Functional testing update...
Because of the earlier incident with the left channel 5R173 and 5R174 resistor failures I am putting this Beomaster through extra long burn-in testing.

Over the weekend this receiver successfully played continuously for thirty hours at a volume level that produced 60dB to 65dB of sound out of my Beovox S55 speakers (measured from 15 feet away).
The output transistors on the heat sinks measured around 100°F to 120°F at various times during the thirty hour test.























The testing continues.
