alembic1989 Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 My 1980's svt200t started playing up and I finally decided to sort it. My plan was to get it fixed, sell it, and buy a modern mini amp...either a markbass...or an Aguilar . Ampeg parts are scarce...and repair of this amp is gonna cost. On talking to the expert....( at surrey amp hospital) ...he couldn't say anything good about the mini amps I had in mind...and so it looks like my faithful ( and great sounding) svt is getting a full refurb...and hopefully give another 25 years of sterling service......I am secretly pleased...even though its a heavy bastard.

afterimage Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 Good luck with refurb. Valves should be nice. See which ones will.be fitted to it. Pre and power Quote
alembic1989 Posted March 3, 2014 Author Posted March 3, 2014 Mine is the solid state ampeg......one of the nice sounding ones....they get surprisingly good reports from their owners, in spite of living in the shadow of their more famous valve cousins. Quote
RandomBass Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 (edited) How spooky. I'd never heard of these before a random google session led me to reading the following interesting article recently. And now there's one on Basschat! [url="http://doktorsewage.com/operating-theater-ampeg-svt-200t/"]http://doktorsewage....ampeg-svt-200t/[/url] Good luck with the fix. There's nothing quite like a nice row of power transistors for me. Cheers Geoff PS I had to google a certain word from the first paragraph, which I promise wasn't the original random search that led me there in the first place Edited March 3, 2014 by RandomBass Quote
