Nakamichi AV-8 Heatsink Assembly Cleaning

Heatsink Cleaning

The Nakamichi AV-8 has an active cooling system, where a cooling fan blows air through the heatsink blades. On my amplifier, the heatsink assembly was clogged with many years of dust and therefore I decided to take it apart for cleaning. All the power transistors required refitting with a more advanced thermal compound as an upgrade. It now works better than before!
