Hoping to be there, but struggling on how to add my name to the list ! Probably an age thing . Mike

Thanks Chris . It's reassuring to know that there are thoughtful Bass chatter's out there , willing to help out when needed !😉

Amp turned up today, Factory packaging superb , should be bomb proof in transit ! All now unpacked ,manual studied, and ready to be used tomorrow night ! Exciting, it is .

So, in fairness to Andertons, they didn't promise to have it there for me, so I can't complain when it wasn't ! "probably in the warehouse behind a pile of deliveries, awaiting unpacking ", was the comment. Hoping to hear about shipping to my home, quite soon. Will report back .

Deposit Paid, off to Andersons today , Just in case they manage to get these amps in as listed on time. I have to mention, this is NOT normal for me . I seldom buy new ('cos I love old valve amps ), But the confidence inspired by "Agedhorse's " helpful and informative attitude, and the design remit , that so reflects my requirements, Simply too hard to resist ! I have every confidence it will sound Fabulous. PLUS What a Looker ! Classic !

Great, Thanks for your help. Link corrected , testing fine, Result . BTW ,you'll get to an age one day when you forget...... that you forget ! Then it doesn't bother you anymore ! Don't ask me how I know this ! Best Wishes, And thanks again for going out of your way to help. Mike

Thank you ! Parts arrived from Farnell , and all fitted yesterday. So far, so good ! Sounding great to me. One thing I noticed was the voltage setting link is set on the middle position , 220v . ( middle of PCB ) Would you be willing to check your amp see which position your link is on. There is another position, next to it, with 120/240 written on it . Is your link there ? There is also a large link at the side of the PCB , that is NOT fitted. Best Wishes, Mike.

That's Amazing, Great, Thank You. I'll get them ordered up, together with the 4 220uf 200v caps in the power supply section that were stressed. My friend who owns the amp said it was still functioning , hard to believe , but worth a go . C5 and C6 had exploded, and are completely unrecognisable. Best Wishes, Mike

Thanks, Electrolytic's, Yes . Clearly marked on PCB C5 and C6.

Could someone with a Mark Bass Little Mark 250 please look inside their amp, and note down the values, voltage and orientation of the Capacitors C5 and C6 , located close to the output Transistors . ( or does anyone have a circuit diag ? ) PLEASE only do this if you are competent and safe to do so , make sure the amp is unplugged , and do NOT poke inside . The Caps should be clearly visible to a knowledgeable person . Thanks , Mike

Bit of Fun, last week, playing with the youngsters !

My recently built Greenboy 12/6 , and 15/6, although on the 15/6 I had to move the port to the rear of the cab, and add a false floor to get the "Vox" look ! I still LOVE 15's.

I have to Thank the Basschat members that have helped me here . Finally had time to remake the power transformer connections , and carry out a test, all seems fine on 240v. Great to be able to do away with the drop down transformer, on this B15, at least !
