thank you so much. that helps a lot.

to answer your questions, I'm thinking that around 60 Watts is what i'm aiming at.
and, I would like to use the power supply from the FM-65 if possible, and i can get other parts and "Frankenstein" it if needed.

I have a close friend who is an Electrical Engineering Major, so i'll get his help with this.

Thanks again!

hello all,
I've recently been given an 4-5 year old Fender FM65 Amp which does not work. There is some major problem with the electronics, and because i know very little about this kind of thing, i cannot diagnose the problem. i know that the speaker is in good condition, and i'm sure many of the electric components inside could be salvaged.
My question is this, what would i have to do to make the amp work just enough to act as a secondary speaker for my Fender Cyber Deluxe. I don't need tone controll, overdrive, or anything other than volume and a "power in" input.
I know how to solder and can read wiring diagrams, i just don't really know where to start. any help from someone who knows more about this would be greatly appriciated.
