    peavey mace no output

    Enzo said: "MAke sure the secondary is not shorted to frame. Obviously disconnect the ground wire from the secondary for this test. And a transformer test should reveal shorted turns."

    Removed the ground wire and there is no short to earth (with the feedback connection to the preamp it measures just over 100kohm which is correct and with it removed it is open cct).
    Had a look at the Geofex site but couldn't find a transformer tester (will carry on looking).
    Checking the resistance of the secondary (after allowing for the resistance of the test leads) I get, White-Green:0.1ohm, Green-Black: 0.1ohm, White-Black: 0.2ohm which adds up ok but I've no way of telling if this is too low or not.
    How do these figures appear to you?

      The heavy wire and relatively low number of turns means the secondary will measure more or les as a short circuit. AS I mentioned, you can't check it with a meter.

      At Geofex, look under: Tech Tips. And within that: Tube Amp Tips
      Education is what you're left with after you have forgotten what you have learned.
