Power Transformer

I've traced all the wires and can't find anything. Does the wire that laces the turrets need to be a certain gage? Were you able to see through the mess at all?

The problem(s) is still right in front of you.

Does the wire that laces the turrets need to be a certain gage?

I use 22AWG solid tinned buss wire.

Were you able to see through the mess at all?

No. Well, I can see certain areas OK but other areas of interest are not visible. I would have to have my hands on that amp to see what I need to see in order to fix it.

[taylorc315]

You do see some issues? Is there any particular areas that I can maybe see if I can get better pictures?

I.also don't have a problem sending this to you if that is an option. I just need a lot more knowledge and guidance. I am going to start another one and take it step by step, I got into a bit of a hurry with this one. I'm not going to make the same mistakes. I used 20 gage copper wire instead of the tinned that you use, is that an issue?

I don't think you need to do that, just de-construct this one. You might just find the mistake when you're taking stuff apart. Use it as a learning experience. Highlight each connection/wire on the schematic as you take it off. For desoldering, braid is your friend. :)

I've deconstructed the amp and now just waiting for some tinned buss wire to start over. I think that the wire I used was not adequate for the job.

I don't think the wire was a factor. Please start a new thread when you post about the rebuild. Good luck.

Thank you Sluckey. I will

Hey I'm back : ) I re did everything I compared to my 72 Marshall as far as voltages it seems that everything looks good. I was wondering if my problem could be with the input and/or output jacks? I compared with the old Marshall but it doesn't have the same type jacks. Thanks

I also uploaded more pics at the flicker account.
Tra412000.... Taylor hopefully this still works

May I suggest you start a new thread? Since you have totally rebuilt this amp it's kinda like having a different amp with different issues. Probably most of the 200+ messages in this thread are not pertinent to this rebuild. We need to know  your new issues, voltages, pictures, etc.

EDIT... Also post the link to your new pics so we don't have to dig back through 200+ messages to find it.

Will do
