Hi Greg,

It is difficult to 'service' electronic equipment as they do not suffer from mechanical issues like a car etc. The only thing that could be done is to check the solder joints and maybe the sockets etc.

I would suggest that if there are no problems with the amp then I would leave it as it is.

Regards

Gareth

Many thanks Gareth,

There is a slight fault now and agin, some gigs I use full range and some biamp.
Now and again the amp crossover does not activate.
I have to fiddle with the biamp/full range switch or power off and the back on.
Imight try some switch cleaner.

Failing that it could just need the solder reflowing on the switch joint but I am guessing the switch cleaner will do the job.
