After all the problems and breakdowns they suffered, I wouldn't buy a second hand PF500.

The new ones are supposed to be OK now.

Dissapointed It looked like £20 each n the thread title!

Said it before, will say it again. Had myPF500 about 3 years, giged it, used it for rehersal, has never failed once.

That's good, and world wide there must have been a lot of happy PF500 users, but. . . . there were a lot of unhappy ones. Owners of very badly put together PF500's that regularly failed.

As I said they seem to have sorted out the problems they had with this amp, so new PF500's would be the ones I would go for.

Secondhand? It's a case of do you feel lucky today?

If they have lasted long enough to be traded in, I reckon they are unlikely to fail now.

EDIT: 5 at once? I reckon these could be a batch of repaired/reconditioned units.

The ONLY time mine has gone into "Fail" mode was with an 8x10 Ampeg cab that had been screwed with by the owner of the rehersal studios (it wasn't the impedance it said it was - as he pointed out after the rehersal). They seem very sensitive to whatever cabs they are plugged into.

Im pretty sure they are refurbed so should be ok

[/quote] Think you hit the nail on the head there I bet they are recon units

Andertons is a good shop with a strong local reputation. If they've assured them as being refurbed and with a warranty then they should be 'safe'
