@SpencersMountain A quick departure from my normal videos. I have messed around with electronics since my younger days. Can't play guitar for crap, but consider broken tube amplifiers like a puzzle that needs to be figured out.
This Peavey ValveKing MK II was found broken and likely headed for the landfill. It just costs too much to have these things repaired...unless you can fix it yourself!!! Knowing how things work is the essence of DIY.
The required warning: Guitar amplifiers should only be repaired by knowledgeable persons with proper equipment. Guitar amplifiers normally contain stored voltages that could KILL you. Do not attempt to duplicate anything you see in this video. Seek professional help for things you do not understand.
Amplifier troubleshooting, disassembly, troubleshooting, testing, variac and dim bulb testing, circuit board removal, desoldering, use of solder sucker, switch and resistor removal and replacement, soldering, assembly and play testing.
