*Faulty/Repair* Gallien Krueger 700RB Combo - *SOLD* £160 Bridgwater, Somerset.

[Josh]

Hey guys,

 

So, this is the older version of the combo, before the 700RBII. I’ve had it for over a year, after about 6 months the power board shorted out after not pressing in the power button fully. I took it to Taunton Audio Visual Services who managed to get it up and running again. About another 6 months later the same issue has happened again.

I’ve since bought a replacement head and have been using the 210 exclusively via a speakon adapter and the cab works perfectly fine and sounds great. When the head was working it sounded even better!

I’m offering this up as a repair for someone with the know how or knows someone who can help, and just as a good and solid 2x10 cabinet which can be used with any head with the adapter.

 

The overall condition of the combo is pretty good for its age. The handle and wheels all work perfectly fine and there is no major cosmetic damage.

 

This is a collection only from Bridgwater, Somerset. I can also meet up or deliver within a certain distance as well.

 

Thanks,

 

Josh.

I'm not sure I understand what "not pressing the power button fully" means. Can you explain please what happened and what the techs said, I'm surprised that they did not look at it again if it failed only 6 months after a repair!

So, the power button is a push in style as opposed to a switch. There have been times when I’ve reached down to push the button in and I’ve taken my finger off too quickly accidentally so it springs back out, but the power had a chance to turn on very briefly. 

I think doing that too times many caused a surge on the power board, which is what was repaired recently and is potentially what needs repairing again. 
 

Hopefully that helps mate!
