Hi fellow Low Enders !
I'm wondering if any of you chaps would like to trade your Aguilar DB680 for my SVT-2Pro ?

I have done extensive work to the SVT -
Recapped with 105 deg C high quality capacitors through the HT section, tube amp doctor caps / audio grade Panasonic caps in signal path,
Replaced all crappy plastic valve sockets ( these always go capacitive) for high quality ceramic and gold types in all pre, driver and output stage positions.
Replaced the standby relay for new, ( even when the relay works, after time the contact oxidise and cause all sorts of problems),
Cleaned all switches, faders, pots and sockets,
And a full new set of valves from Derek at Watford Valves.
Biased up perfectly.
I'll upload the pics so you can see for yourselves !

Best,
Steve.

Found it.
Bias pot 1 has a hairline crack where the PCB legs meet the pot.
The magic chopstick method works once again.

I've got exactly the same issue with mine.
Re-capped with long life high temp electrolytics, whole new set of valves too.

The problem is in the driver / power amp stage ( narrowed down with the ol' send/rtn trick)

Anyone else here with the same problem ?

Hi Rageingtelephone,
Did you ever get to the bottom of this ?

Just saw this. I have a potentially spare Big Ben. Are you selling or trading? Are the tens 'tight' and right sounding?

You still got the Big Ben ?

Steve

Would you consider splitting the rig ?

Hi,
I was after a trade orginally, have had a few offers but nothing finalised yet.
The tens, as far as I'm aware are fine. I replaced two of them about three years ago. The cab has been out of its flightcase about two years ( Was a bit of a bitch when trying to get into a Fiesta !), there is some wear to the ozite on the front of the cab. Couldnt tell you about the Horn, as I always used it with it fully attenuated.

Steve

What you looking for in trade, brab ?

Reserved..

Bramley, £350, but currently trying to sort out a deal for a big ben.

Nice !
