Hi Guys, lemme bore ya. :>)
I bought this rascal about 10 years ago. It is 1/2 of a matched pair of PA heads and think I had to give around $700 for the goofy bastage at the time.
Anyway, the darned thing never has been "quite" right. Acted weird once in awhile.
At the oddest times over the years, it just would not fire up; power would come on, but it wouldn't sound until I jiggled wires, thumped the case, hollared at the wife and "cussed" everything in sight. :>)
Needless to say, when you are standing in front of a buch of people and this thing decides to fail, it is more than just a little embarrassing..... :>)
So, I fire 'er up the other morning and it wouldn't lite off. No sound out of my left side speaker! This time it just flat won't come on, no matter what I did.
Gave up, threw my hands in the air and ordered another one from down in AZ. Told him to overnight the head.
Well, guess what? Trouble is, it just isn't gonna make it by dance time tonight........Now, I'm scrambling like you wouldn't believe! Gettin' a little frantic 'round here!
Up at 2am this morning and tore it apart. Gutted the thing. Can't see anything whatsoever wrong with the dude. Everything is just as it should be in that box. Hmmmmmmm.
Started to put it all back together and heard a "clunk" noise coming from that little reverb unit box mounted under the lid.
Then tore the Reverb unit to pieces. Reverb sping has to "suspend" in air and some little Korean somewhere had failed to mount it properly. Was off and on "shorting out" against it's metal wall of the case. Protect circuit was coming on and shuttin' 'er down.
Okay, fixed it properly, put it all back together and guess I'm all ready to go rock n' roll now. :>)

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
