Chris, Having work on many in the past and rebuilt 3 amp after lightning strikes. Needless to say it took several hours to repair each and 3 days to rebuild each.
I do not know if the parts are still available from Motorola, but they may be. I know they do not repair them at the depot anymore. 100 watts is not bad, but 350 is a lot better. You might start looking around for a complete unit as a spare, or look at getting a separate amp that will take the first amps power and give you 350 watts. This would require reconfiguring the PURC5000 to a low power unit, but would save the equipment in the long run. I hate to say it but it might be time to build another high power station using other equipment. Rebuilding is not out of the question, just finding the parts is.

Looking for parts, amps anything to get my PURC 5000 350 watt amp back to full power.I lost one of the modules and the power protection now has it running at a 100 watts. Darn, so much for having 7 voting receivers. Would consider alternatives. Thanks, Chris N6ICW I like to be heard down in those canyons.
