B & K AVR 507 Series 2

[jlr]

I have a B & K AVR 507 Series 2 unit and one of the power supplies has gone bad. Since B & K is no longer around, parts are not available. Any suggestions for what to do with this unit as for as repair or use in conjunction with other amplifiers, or is it time to move on. The unit was set up to power 5 speakers in theater setting and 2 speakers for stereo listening in a separate room.

If the part isn't available repair may not be possible unless that particular power supply is available outside of BK. It's like 24 years old, tho and personally I'd move on....otoh if you have pre-outs that still work fine you could add external amps....

I would move on. So much has changed since that was released. A modern 7.2 channel Denon for instance will come with room correction, decode more formats, more input/output options, and have a host of other useful features. All around $1k.

The unit is a boat anchor in need of a one way trip to the recycling center.
