Enzo,
Phostenix.

your help has been invaluable, educational and has given me much more confidence with this kind of thing.

it also means my fenders back up and running.
awesome guys
thanks so much

Were you able to get the resistors replaced, too?

[kepeb]

well, i have an order coming for
2 proper fender jacks for that pre out-power in section, bringing it back up to scratch.
the little resistor on the output (parallel with the coil which i now can fix too)
and a choice of matching value 20w or two smaller ones to use parallel as the power resistor replacement. i'll see which ones fit better.
and finally some heat grease for when i put the board back at the end.
sweet.
i just have to wait for it all now

[kepeb]

well, i'm pretty excited about the prospect of getting the fender back on its feet
i wouldnt think i will get the parts till the end of next week. TOO LONG

i might even get into one of the other ex gigging amps i have prized but is currently useless. think that deserves a new thread tho, after i look through the forum see if anyone else has already been there.

definitely better than using the time fixing xlrs.

It always feels great to get them working again, doesn't it?

[kepeb]

i know this thread is dead now,
just thought i'd finish it with a final update.
got all the parts through and installed them yesterday.
i even got some more bits to replace the makeshift jobs that were in before i got it.

its even better than it was before now!
thanks very much for all your help guys

They always sound better after you've spent a bunch of time repairing them. Glad to hear you got it going again.
