  • Randall RG100ES Reverb

    Hi folks,
    sorry for my bad English, i'm French ,

    We have à RG100ES for maintenance, amps have already had many repairs...
    Reverb not working on this amp, only hisss and the sound becomes very treble when turn knob.
    If i touch springs with my fingers, i can listen reverb, problem seems come to input tank
    crushed signal.

    Input's and output values on tank seems correct, ref tank is:
    -> OC electronic Milton WIS 53563

    But on schematic, is à type 4, but this amplifier, is a type 9 ( 3 springs), i think is bad tank setup inside,
    We have contact Randall, but Randall's tech don't know reference exactly for this tank ... say only type 4 ...

    Does someone have more informations or reference replacement for this tank ?

    Thanks in advance

    Your English is a lot better than my French.

    The number of springs is irrelevant. All that matters to the amp is the impedances.

    Can you post or link a schematic?

    If the two transducers in the reverb unit have resistances that seem OK, then likely the pan is not the problem, look to the drive circuit in the amp.

        Do you have any other amps there with reverb pans? Specifically 4EBxxxx, not 4ABxxxx. And if so could you substitute it into this amp for testing?

            sorry impossible to edite my last post ...

            I have found the problem, tech who repaired the amp was wrong,
            it reversed the signal and the ground on the two faston terminals on output signal drive reverb ... it's been a long time that this is so. ( gound on pcb in not wiring, piste is cut for groud loop i think ... )

            Reverb working now...

            Thanks again for your help
