Peavey Firebass

[Toddy]

One of my favorite pieces of kit is the Peavey Firebass,, this one has done countless gigs,, however it had a hic-cup a couple of months ago,, cleaned it out,,, pretty dusty,, and it behaved fine for a month or so,,,,, then one fatefull gig,, she just refused to power up,,, and bizzarly dosnt have the obvious fuse to check !!

Any ideas guys?? obviously prepared to have her professionally repaired,, just curious to get your views ,opinions.....she has been officially retired from "the road"

If has a thermal trip instead of a fuse, a rod pops out of it somewhere when the circuit breaks, when it's cool it will pop bacl in when pushed, much handier than a fuse. Find it, if it is in, check current flows through it with a meter.

Looking at your pics, it could be the mains power switch. There looks to be a lot of scorching around where it plugs into the circuit board.

The thermal trip is the obvious first step though - it's on the back panel, marked 'reset'.
