Actually I am mainly ordering the tube sockets to have on hand if I have to drop the amp off at a tech,might save some time and $$ if they say that my amp needs new tube socket(s)..I haven't seen any arcing anywhere,this board actually looks great minus the small area of the burned resistor,but I have only gone over the traces and checked for continuity and its all checked out,but I am writing all of what you are saying to check and will get on it tomorrow morning..
I do know this and thats these parts are way to close to each other,I payed attention and got a good solder job done,and I lifted the resistors up off the pcb,and the pcb isn't as flimsy as the Jet City i worked on.
Also the original post from way back the OP was instructed to take everything out from around the V1 area and go to town on it,but looking at mine,and having 2 other people inspect it its fine.
What really bothers me about this whole Mesa amp thing is I've been wanting a Mesa Rectifier amp for quite a while now and was pumped up and happy to have a good backup for my EVH 5150-3 amp head,and had an opportunity to make an even trade I was truly happy and then the big let down,but this amps pcb has 2000 as the year made so its been around,and the guy i traded with said he owned it for 2 years and didn't have any problems with it so I guess it was time for it to malfunction.with all that said I believe its fixable for sure and the cosmetic condition is good with the original in good condition aluminum Diamond plate face plate I polished to the max and a few small tears in the Tolex,but none of that matters really,I just need to quit BS'ing and figure it out.
I knew as soon as I saw Enzo as a Moderator that this forum has some excellent knowledgeable people,he helped me on the another forum early last year and the repairs were a success and the amp was awesome !
I will check back in probably tomorrow evening after another busy day..Thanks again !
