Hi all first post for me :tu:
I bought what i thought was a dud sessionette 75 mk1 2 years ago ,
I did look around at the time and saw it could be a number of things (not loud hum but no output) and put it away as it was going to be a donor
But yesterday i looked at it again and got the mmeter out and checked for dc at the speaker and averaging 16mv
Put a lead in the extention speaker socket to see if any different reading and same ,
When i pulled the lead out of socket the amp crackled into life :dbtu:
Did it once again but no after about 8-10 hours use it seems fine ,
Sounds awesome too , i have a rockette 30 but this is way better ,
If it happens again anyone have any ideas , Im pretty good with my hands :duh
thanks all
ahh seeems i should of searched a bit on this will read the other posts :tu:
