I can see it has a 'magic eye' tuning indicator tube. These look the dogs nuts when working and glow flourescent green usually. Worth bringing back to life just for that I think!

Hi. I am new to this forum but was very interested to read your problem and experiences with a Carllsbro amp. These are a good old British made amp from the 70's and 80's and I myself have owned several. The best one I seem to remember was a Colt 45 model. What a great amp with a great range of sounds and bullt to withstand a nuclear strike! Why I sold it I cannot think because it was a cracker. Anyway, to get back to your problem - it sounds to me like a power supply might have gone down and you should check all the dc supplies with a meter. A schematic would certainly help but can be hard to track down for Carlsbro and more obscure amps. One thing I did note from having repaired several Carlsbro amps and that is that they are prone to problems with jack sockets and pots. The originals were maybe not of best quality and they go intermittent. Switch cleaner can help but sometimes the only cure is to replace them. Good luck with your fault finding.
