Good afternoon. I bought a peavey bandit. The original owner explained that it had an issue where it smoked. I paid next to nothing for it thinking it'd be a good opportunity for me to try out another repair.
So here is what I know. Amp listed as not working and stating that it produced smoke at one point. So first inspection I notice the power cord has had the ground prong removed and one of the prongs remaining is damaged. I opened it up expecting a lot of burnt out parts but from what I can tell there is one cap that is damaged and pretty clearly spewed some liquid out of it.
So my plan of attack here is to replace the power cord and the cap and see if that takes care of the problem. Does anyone else have any suggestions? I'm really excited to get this thing going as I've heard so many good things about these bandits!
