Geek99 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 (edited) I have a tanglewood odyssey with an artec apc pro. Previous owner fitted a battery box on upper bout. I chased and found a fault in the junction block that joined the battery box The preamp still doesn't work (I'm pushing the batt check button and it doesn't light up, new 9v batt checked with a multimeter Does anyone have one or experience of one ? Do I need to plug in a lead to get it to work? Do they "burn"? Edited May 11, 2016 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) Anyone help? Don't want to buy another and then it worked perfectly all along Edited May 22, 2016 by Geek99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hubrad Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 These things can pack up, yes. Have you definitely got 9V at the preamp (if possible check this at the circuit board inside), and have you checked the pickup itself? The preamp is all but unrepairable, so replacement or bypass are the only further options. What size is the cutout for the pre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geek99 Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 Its 45mm wide I think its input switched but would imagine batt check would work without Tricky part is that battery is separate and last owner fitted a batt box. Trend now is for built in batteries Wonder if anyone has a scrap apc pro ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
