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

Clean the jacks and especially the cutout contacts in them.
