Genesis APM-1 Plate Amp Repair or Replacement

Hello Fgalea,

Try contacting Gary Koh, President of Genesis Advanced Technologies based in Seattle. Do a search of Genesis Speakers on Google or Yahoo.

I alerted him to your post as i was discussing my new amp and speaker order with him.

He said that Rick Cullen is a good contact as he was responsible for the electronics at Genesis prior to 2001. Gary has Rick's contact details.

All current products can be directed to Genesis as they are manufactured in house.

Good luck and hope you have music soon.

Jorge,That was fast.What was the problem?

Tpreaves: I think I may have made it sound like i had two concurrent issues. Both of my plate amps went out: one 2 yrs ago and another about 3 months ago. But I have been looking for the manual since I bought them used about 2.5 years ago. I had one amp fixed by sound ideas in florida.
When the 2nd amp went out, their tech that worked on my first amp no longer worked there. So I posted here again.
And that's when I was referred to Cullen. BTW, Rick responded this morning and he doesn't have access to that manual. I forget what the issue was with the first speaker. But I had a blown fuse on the 2nd. Still looking for that manual, guys!
Again, I started with Genesis for the manual for this speaker. They don't have it.

Thanks!
JP

I want to thank each of you good people for taking an interest in my problem. I will go ahead with your suggestions and see if I can save my speakers.

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner, but thanks all!!

Dear Jorgeparrapuppy,
This is old stuff now, but I did send my amp to Rick Cullen as advised. That was January 2010...he still has it, still broken. So, thank you for the idea, but I guess it's hopeless.
I bought a Daton sub-amp in hopes of salvaging the speakers, but the hook-up looks difficult to do. At least for me.
Do you or anyone know of a diagram or schematic of a generic tower speaker. Right off the bat, the speaker has a huge transformer with 4 leads in and out. Not sure if I can bypass it. Anybody??
