AMPEG B15 '64 ish mains transformer question .
Chimike replied to Chimike's topic in Repairs and Technical
Thanks, but just to confirm, it's the power transformer, not the output transformer I was referring to. , although I do realise it may be a replacement, but def a proper, potted, B15 replacement, if so. I'll check out Psionic Audio JIC. -
Hoping I can get some info on my B15 mains transformer. Connections all seem correct, and agree with circuit diag under amp. Tube rectified, non-pcb version. Amp is run from a step down transformer, and is working fine,( just need to lower the hum level a tad ) However, there appears to be two additional leads attached to the transformer , blue and blue/white , taped off, and tucked away. Can anyone throw light on why they are there ? I don't want to guess ! Thanks, Mike.

Now reaching in to my Acoustic Control corp gear. First up is a very nice mid 70's , all original, 470 amp head . This is the dual channel model , with Lead/Bass and distortion functions. So ideal if you play both bass and 6 string. UK voltage, comprehensive EQ, channel switching. For sale for £295 if collected from Worthing, West Sussex. PS The unfinished Replicab 301 clone is not for sale, and is not included . Any other pics or details, just ask

Chimike replied to rwillett's topic in Completed Items
Hi Rob, Real,Real Long shot, but do you still have the Green glow in the dark filament ? Thanks Mike. -
Was great to meet up with Chris last week, when he picked up an amp and some "black boxes " ( my wife's description ! ) from me. Had an enjoyable chat 'bout bass things , even though we were pushed for time . Chris was well organised, and a pleasure to deal with ,communicating well at all times , despite some "logistics" problems which Chris quickly dealt with. Basschat at it's Best ! Thanks Chris, Enjoy the amp.

Now Sold Mackie SRM450 v2 PA cabs. Bought from a fellow basschatter many moons ago as backup spares, and in my ownership, only used/needed the once ! Both have covers, which have protected them over time , but the top panel has come unstitched on one . Simple fix , probably ! Other than that, covers are in nice , presentable, condition. Collection only, please , from West Sussex.

Retired from my Rock n Roll band, so selling my PF-500 Portaflex rig . Amp has been great, very reliable . PF-115 cab has light signs of use , but works fine. PF-210HE 2 x 10 cab is almost like new , as I only used it very occasionally. All in all, a very versatile setup, amp can switch between cabs easily if you just need one cab on the gig, as the clip-on tops on the Portaflex cabs are interchangeable. Collection only, please , from West Sussex.

Great pair of Glockenklang 12 " 8 ohm bass cabs, in well cared for condition . One cab is the Space Deluxe Cab, (on hold ) the other is an identical Passenger cab, with the top amp combo part professionally removed and refinished, to create a matching pair. Both cabs are of lightweight construction , and are fitted with the legendary " Volt " bass units , made especially for Glockenklang . These are ceramic units, but still a one hand lift. Collection only, please, from West Sussex. Price is for the pair !

Hi Tom c , I've edited out any "no longer available " , so everything left in the june3 2023 ad still available, see 1st page. Loads of other amps I've not even listed yet, Likely take me years to sell them all ! Trouble is, I keep getting " Hoarders Lament ". It's like G.A.S, but I've bought them already ! -
Hiya, Try Demeter Windings, Chelmsford CM2 9TE UK Company, They made me a new transformer for my Trace Elliot V6 Good Luck, Mike.

Mesa D-800 limit led light permanently on
Chimike replied to Chimike's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hi Rob, I did contact Westside, but received a curt reply that Mesa service is now down to Gibson ! Not entirely unreasonable, I suppose, as there have been big changes at MESA, who have been very helpful. However, as you know, I'm a semi retired engineer, metalwork ( bent facia panel ) no problem for me, and I'm making a jig so that the replacement pot is accurately located on the pcb . Looks like the master volume pot is 100k ohms , log , taper a bit harder to identify, but 'bout 25 % . Just gotta find the correct 16mm pot , and I'll hopefully be sorted . Will get my tech to fit pot , I'm fine with the old leaded solder on my old valve amps , D-800 probably uses lead free ! Using my ( over 40 years old ) A.M.P. BH-420 in the meanwhile. Lovin' it ! Best Wishes, Mike. -
A.M.P. BH 420 Bass amp. Forerunner to the Thunderfunk.

Mesa D-800 limit led light permanently on
Chimike replied to Chimike's topic in Repairs and Technical
Unbelievable ! What can I say ? "above and beyond the call of duty " comes to mind. Thank you so much for your positive reply . It's a great relief to know that there are repair possibilities for my Mesa D-800, despite living in the UK. I did, in fact, knock my amp off the speaker the previous week , in its carry bag, but thought no more of it ! Again, Thank you, I will message you, as suggested. Best Wishes, and Seasons Greetings, Mike -
Can anyone shed light (sorry ) on my Mesa d-800 limit light being permanently on ? Amps been fine , 'till suddenly, when I switched on last week , no instrument attached, the limit light came on, amp hums, and controls seem all over the place ! what to do ?

Can't thank Dave enough ! Despite living at the other end of the universe (OK , UK, ) he happily agreed to to drive the odd 240 miles or so, and meet me at a Sheffield service Station to collect his Acoustic Control corp , and Ampeg cabinets. On the way down, He also collected a couple of 60's Vox AC30 stands for me , in Sunderland. Despite both our drives being in the 4 to 5 hour time scale, We arrived within 10 mins of one another. Then the fun started . First cab wouldn't go in the car. To my amazement, Dave started pulling bits off his car, and finally, with a big push , it popped in ! Gotta hand it to him, he's not easily deterred . Good thing, could have given us a big problem. Everything else went in, Just, then quick chat, and we were off. Shame we didn't have more time, but Dave had to be back, and I had to go to Birmingham on the way home , and escape before the rush hour . All in all, Dave's organisational skills made everything possible, and , just like the last time I met him , a pleasure, too. Thanks Dave !
