Part 4: Amplifier Rebuil
The rebuild of the NuTone Model 2500 Stereo Receiver continues.
In Part 4 I work on rebuild the two amplifier circuit boards and replace the original insulators under the output transistors and add new thermal compound..
All of the transistors and diodes on the amplifier boards were checked and there way a lot of solder reflowing to solve many cold solder joints.
The 4 output transistors were checked and while none are apparently bad, 2 have much lower gain than would be typical (i think) for these transistors. New outputs have been ordered and will be installed as the very final step of this rebuild.

NuTone Intercom Master Stations were available in a White Finish starting in 1984 with the IM3003 and then in 1986 with the IM4006.
When the IM3303 was introduced in 1994 the single most popular color was NuTone's Bright White. When the IM4406 was introduced in 1996, Bright White was still the best selling finish.
Along with all of these other models was the IM5006 and the IM2003, which were also available in Bright White.
The problem with white plastics in consumer products is, they slowly turn yellow over time, especially when they are exposed to sun light.
We have an in-house chemical process that will return these models of NuTone Intercom Master Stations to nearly their original color. This process also work with NuTone Remote Intercom Stations, which are throughout your home.
This Video shows a "Before & After" of a 1991 NuTone IMA4006WH Master Station, which a customer brought in for repair and re-whitening.
Be sure to watch the entire Video - there's a good comparison that shows a very yellowed face plate, compared to the re-whitened face plate , compared to a pristine example of a bright white speaker face plate.

I've had a lot of viewers ask for a recommendation on a Mutli-Meter they should buy, so they can test and work on their NuTone Intercom Systems.
After looking around I found the Extech EX330, which is a very good and not to expensive Multi-Meter.
The EX330 is slightly about an entry level meter, however you do get a lot of excellent features and accessories.
This Video is not a full review or a tear down or a tutorial - it is just a recommendation Video
Here's a link to a very good , 3-part Multi-Meter Tutorial Video for beginners: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBbgiBU96mM&t=313s
