Amp - loss of power?
Request some assistance diagnosing a problem in the power amp of a
Marshall Artist 4203. Amp runs 2xEL34's,12AX7 phase inverter and a solid state rectifier. The problem is loss of power. Usually within a minute or two of start up. It can occur within a few seconds of start up, which makes me think it is not necessarily heat related. I have replaced tubes and filter cap. The interesting clue is when I open the standby with signal present, there is a brief surge of near full power. I am guessing, but it's like the charge in the filter cap drives it once the supply from the rectifier is removed. Does this automatically suggest rectifier diodes as the problem? I am new at this and have only a basic theoretical understanding - any help greatly appreciated. Schematic available he http://www.drtube.com/schematics/marshall/3203pwr.gif Thanks. |
