Krell KRC preamp powersupply


Does anybody know what's the original VA rating of the bigger Avel Lindberg potted Torodial in the Krell KRC's outboard powersupply? That's the one that feeds the amplifiying stages in the KRC. The smaller one is for the switching technologie and the Airpax stepped motor in the mainunit. I have the first version with the Penny + Giles rotary fader inside but the powersupply has been altered.
Thanks in advance

Thanks Mike,

I substituted all radial caps in the mainunit and powersupply as a precaution.
The ones under the controlboard were brown from the heat and they smelled like fish.
It was a days work but I turned the bias somewhat down so it gets not so insanely hot anymore.
200 USD for parts and approx. 10 hours labor.
I do like it's performance but the Standard phonocard is outclassed by the phono amp in my Krell KRS-2.
I use the KRS-2 in a tapeloop now for the phono-duties
