PT for Peavey Backstage

[Randall]

Surprised at how difficult it has been to track down a replacement PT for a Backstage II amp. Number is 705-17950. I don't really want to go to a lot of trouble retrofitting something to this little chassis on an amp I can buy used for $100.

Anyone better at this than I am?

Did you try Peavey?

The amp is over 40 years old, PV will not have the part.

All I know is it is a Backstage II solid state. I have tried emailing Peavey, they don't respond. I called once, they did not answer. Their parts program and service staff is not what it once was in my experience.

I already looked at TAD, he doesn't have it.

I'm guessing this is a lost cause.

Randall, I have two that might work for you. LMK if you need more measurements or voltages:

Thank you very much xtian. The call has been made to cease and desist on this amp. Not really worth any more time.

705-18712 it is about a 30-0-30 transformer, which rectifies and filters to about 40vDC rails. It is used in the Bandit, the Backstage Plus, the Basic 40/50/60models, the Studio Pro 40/50 models

705-18711 I am no6t sure what that was used in. Should be similar era I note it is smaller so used in less powerful models.

If anyone would know that Enzo, it would be you.

Rockin' Johnny can use it as an extension cab now the amp's been condemned.
