Okie dokie. After a little more shooting of trouble, here is what has transpired. Flip mains switch, mains fuse blows. Checked solders connections at plug, mains fuse holder, mains switch and primaries on PT. All good, no connection had continuity to ground. Hmmmmmmm. Un soldered the secondaries of ...

Pardon the slow response. Daughters been sick, work has been rough. Priorities.

Maybe I miss spoke. It's been known to happen. I only see 5 fuses. (1) 4A mains, (2) 500mA HT, (2) 6.3A Heater. All fuses are good. Power Tubes removed, pre amp tubes installed. All fuses installed. Speaker cabinet connected (correct ohm load set), power cord connected, Standby in off position, flip...

No Bueno. With all tubes and fuses (HT and Internal) removed, using only appropriate mains fuse blows almost instantly.

Thanks for the welcome! No I did not get to play it before I bought it. Looked it over when I picked it up. Filter caps don't look bloated, transformers don't look burnt. Aside from the smell of cigarette smoke the only thing visually out of order was the first owner lost the fuse cap and tried to r...

A quick visit to my local tech and $20 later we are back in business!!! The answer I got was a voltage balance pot. The bias pot strictly controls one tube, adjust that tube to where the bias voltage is correct, then with the voltage balance pot, match the other tube to it. Long story short, nasty l...

Gene!! Finally someone with some love for the JTM 30. I have a JTM30 1x12 Combo, with matching 1x12 extension cab. Bought them NOS from a disgruntled music store employee for $100 about 15 years ago. My first Marshall, my first tube amp. The rest is history. Hate to hear you don't like the Heritage ...

Just recently acquired a VM 2266C (in pristine shape I might add). Traded off a few that were "meh". Anyhow. About a week after getting the amp home I am enjoying the sonic sweetness when I hear a little "snap, crackle, pop" action coming from the inside of the Purple People Eater. Volume drops noti...
