So I bought a peavey classic 60 power amp on CL thinkin' I got a good deal on a cheap power amp, but lo & behold, the seller packed it like shit, and it arrived broken.
I wanna see if I can salvage the situation, so anything you can do to help is greatly appreciated.
A 22uf electrolytic cap got smashed in and one leg broke off the board, a little mylar or film cap beside it also got 1 leg detached.
A power tube got smashed to bits and both preamp tubes got destroyed.
I resoldered both 22uf back on, although the 22uf's leg snapped right at the cap's cylinder and the only way I could solder it was to hold the connecting part with tin, I'm waiting for a replacement part I ordered to come in.
Put in new tubes, fired it up, as soon as I turn the standby switch to play, I hear loud erratic crackling from the speaker, this is without anything plugged into the input, turning the master doesn't seem to affect it.
So... what should I look for now?
I noticed a few places on the back of the board the trace got scratched up, would this be the culprit?
