Hi Tom c , I've edited out any "no longer available " , so everything left in the june3 2023 ad still available, see 1st page. Loads of other amps I've not even listed yet, Likely take me years to sell them all ! Trouble is, I keep getting " Hoarders Lament ". It's like G.A.S, but I've bought them already ! -

Mesa D-800 limit led light permanently on
Chimike replied to Chimike's topic in Repairs and Technical
Hi Rob, I did contact Westside, but received a curt reply that Mesa service is now down to Gibson ! Not entirely unreasonable, I suppose, as there have been big changes at MESA, who have been very helpful. However, as you know, I'm a semi retired engineer, metalwork ( bent facia panel ) no problem for me, and I'm making a jig so that the replacement pot is accurately located on the pcb . Looks like the master volume pot is 100k ohms , log , taper a bit harder to identify, but 'bout 25 % . Just gotta find the correct 16mm pot , and I'll hopefully be sorted . Will get my tech to fit pot , I'm fine with the old leaded solder on my old valve amps , D-800 probably uses lead free ! Using my ( over 40 years old ) A.M.P. BH-420 in the meanwhile. Lovin' it ! Best Wishes, Mike. -
Selling my Takamine Acoustic bass as, for acoustic work, I prefer my old 60's Rivoli . Bass almost as new condition, fitted new set of black nylon covered bass strings. Good quality, solidly built, fitted case has signs of use ( more like , storage, I'd say ). Looks like the previous owner never played it, just kept under the bed, maybe. £295, collected from West Sussex,

Mesa D-800 limit led light permanently on
Chimike replied to Chimike's topic in Repairs and Technical
Unbelievable ! What can I say ? "above and beyond the call of duty " comes to mind. Thank you so much for your positive reply . It's a great relief to know that there are repair possibilities for my Mesa D-800, despite living in the UK. I did, in fact, knock my amp off the speaker the previous week , in its carry bag, but thought no more of it ! Again, Thank you, I will message you, as suggested. Best Wishes, and Seasons Greetings, Mike -
Can anyone shed light (sorry ) on my Mesa d-800 limit light being permanently on ? Amps been fine , 'till suddenly, when I switched on last week , no instrument attached, the limit light came on, amp hums, and controls seem all over the place ! what to do ?

Can't thank Dave enough ! Despite living at the other end of the universe (OK , UK, ) he happily agreed to to drive the odd 240 miles or so, and meet me at a Sheffield service Station to collect his Acoustic Control corp , and Ampeg cabinets. On the way down, He also collected a couple of 60's Vox AC30 stands for me , in Sunderland. Despite both our drives being in the 4 to 5 hour time scale, We arrived within 10 mins of one another. Then the fun started . First cab wouldn't go in the car. To my amazement, Dave started pulling bits off his car, and finally, with a big push , it popped in ! Gotta hand it to him, he's not easily deterred . Good thing, could have given us a big problem. Everything else went in, Just, then quick chat, and we were off. Shame we didn't have more time, but Dave had to be back, and I had to go to Birmingham on the way home , and escape before the rush hour . All in all, Dave's organisational skills made everything possible, and , just like the last time I met him , a pleasure, too. Thanks Dave !
