  • Peavey Valveking V112 Lead Channel Out

    MEF Members....

    A friend brought me his Peavey Valveking VK112 that had a dead Lead Channel. I found a schematic on another site and posting here just in case anyone else needs it in the future.

    Using the tips you have all taught me (yeah!!), I found the plate voltage on V2 to be 0 volts (see page 9, upper right corner). The other side of R101 has 320vdc (B+). That resistor tested open- failure! I tested R112 and R116 and they are ok (within spec).

    I ordered a bunch of 150K resistors (both carbon and metal film). I am thinking that since plate resistors are a common failure, perhaps I should use a 1/2 metal film? The stock resistor appears to be a 1/4 watt metal film.

    I'll report back with results.

    Sure, use 1/2 watt.

      Hi Friends....

      I installed a new plate resistor (on V2), 1/2 watt, metal film... The Lead Channel worked.

      I have 1.2 vdc on the Cathode... .8ma. B+ = 285 volts and pin 1 on V2 is 166 vdc, again ~ .8ma.

      I guess the 320 vdc that I previously measured was high because the tube was not working? I do believe I measured B+ with the other 12ax7 tubes installed.

      I then put the amp in the case and something went bad.... so more troubleshooting ahead.

        Ok.. success.... must have had a loose something or other. Amp is working.

        Thanks again...
