I recently solved a problem I was having amp. It turned out to be very minor, but I blew it out of proportion and took the power transformer out of the chassis. It powers on and emits sound, but it's very low and none of the potentiometers are working now. Anyone have any Ideas?

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the site, so I'm not quite sure if this is the right place, but I'll give it a whirl anyway.

I recently acquired a Crate GX-212 with what I'm assuming was a fault Power Transformer/power supply. When I got it, the amp would only come on after you hit either the top of the amp, or the power transformer.

After discovering this I proceeded to remove the chassis. I don't have a work shop and handled the whole thing pretty clumsily; setting it down kind of hard and having it slide and fall a few inches.

Once I got the chassis removed, which was a process of its own as I am new to the inner workings of amps, I proceeded to remove the power transformer. I got a little ahead of myself and didn't take a before hand picture of the wiring so I could replace it just right and schematics don't seem to be helping.

It's been a few days now and no matter what I do I can't get the power to come back on at all. I don't know if the transformer has gone completely caput, the wiring isn't right, or if I damaged the circuit board to badly.

Unfortunately I don't have pictures just yet. I can tell you that the transformer is 94-116-40. I'll be uploading pictures once I get out of work.
