Ampeg VL1002

Post by galtjunk »

I picked up a broken Ampeg Vl1002 yesterday.
Does anyone have a schematic for one of these?
I has 4 6550's and 7 12ax's.

What is it not doing in proper way?
The inter board connectors in these Amps can make for issues though!

I don't know what is wrong with it.
I haven't powered it up yet.
It came back from a local tech who could not fix it.
I bought it to salvage the transformers and tubes and I wanted to look at how it was set up before I gut it.

Sure.

But why didn't you just google search for it?

A google search finds the schematics, even a complete service manual, in seconds, BTW. That's much quicker than waiting someone to post a link in here. ;-)

Yes, the Molex connectors were infamous to cause issues in these amps.

Google doesn't find a schematic.
I tried, and tried and tried.
Yesterday nothing showed up.
Today they do show up.
Thanks for making me try again.

i'd suggest to try to fix it.
It's not a bad amp.
