tarqh Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 i am throwing this one out there in the hope that someone my have or know where i can get a trace elliot gp11 410 combo transformer. mine fell out of the back of the van! still works but with an intolerable buzzing. i believe each transformer was made specifically for each model which makes it even harder to find! there are hand written numbers on it which read 50-39-0-39-50 if anyone has any ideas/thoughts on tracking one down i would greatly appreciate it. i know there is an option to repair it, but i cannot throw too much money at it on spec just to find i could have bought a (quality) brand new amp. thank you in anticipation[attachment=108581:transformer.JPG][attachment=108582:photo.JPG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkBassChat Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm sure that fixing it will be much cheaper that buying a new one. If you want a new one, have you tried contacting the manufacturer directly? Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarqh Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 hi mark, thanks for getting back, yes, they have said they can take a look and give me a quote if it is possible to repair, but it wont be cheap. add to this the postage of such a heavy piece of kit and it al starts to add up! i thought it may be more realistic to findan old one and salvage the transformer and keep the rest for spares. alternatively, just keep the cabsection and get a different amphead altogether. decisions, decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dincz Posted May 26, 2012 Share Posted May 26, 2012 If the amp is still working, there can't be too much wrong with the transformer. It may simply be rattling against the chassis. Try tightening its mounting screws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarqh Posted May 26, 2012 Author Share Posted May 26, 2012 i tried this and everything was as tight as could be. i have spoken to the service people and they reckon that it is just knackered but it may, just may, be possible to rebuild it. its seems such a long shot and possibly expensive that i thought imight salvage one from another amp. thank you for your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
