Hi
I have a Peavey 6505 on the bench which keeps blowing the mains fuse with the amp on standby.
1- I removed the power tubes and tried again, same thing. I disconnected the OT, turned the amp on in standby mode, it stayed on. C34 had about 470vdc to grnd. C38 had about half of that which should be correct.
2- I checked the OT windings for resistance/shorts, short to ground and they seem OK.
3- Next, just for the hell of it I rigged up a spare 100w OT after disconnecting the stock one. Turned the amp on in standby mode and again it blew the mains fuse.
So, I have ruled out the tubes, the OT
4- checked C34, C35, C38, C39 with an EDS-88 CapAnalyzer and they test ok.
The only schematic I have or that I can find on the internet is the VH 5150ll which people say is the same. I am not sure they are correct.
Anyone have any ideas. Thank you in advance.
