One of my friends gave me a legacy LA 490 600 watt amp. He told me if I could get it to work I could have it for $10. Anybody know what some of the common things that go wrong in this or any amp and if it would be easy or worth the time fixing?

Your friend should pay you $10 for taking the amp. Don't bother trying to fix it, considered it disposable.
