Members richardson Posted November 16, 2006 Members Share Posted November 16, 2006 I have a Mesa Triple Rectifier that I want to get rid of. Before I stopped using it, it was blowing fuses left and right. I'm not sure if it's an output transformer or a tube, but I don't have the time to get it checked out and repaired. I'd like to sell it AS IS, even though I'm sure it's probably not too hard of a fix. How much do you guys think I should be asking for? I paid $1400 for it a year ago Things in mint condition, otherwise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitarstar81 Posted November 16, 2006 Members Share Posted November 16, 2006 Hey man, you would be taking a huge hit trying to sell it like that. Why not just fix it? It's almost guaranteed it's a power tube. Fixing it is easy and should take a few minutes. Grag a handful of fuses and a pair of replacement tubes. Connect the amp to a cab, turn it on, and look around the back. Now, while looking at the tubes, flip the standby switch to the playing position. You will probably hear a loud pop and see one tube flash. That's the bad tube. Replace that tube and the other in the pair, put a new fuse in, and things should be golden!!! Spending a few minutes to do this will result in being able to make a few hundred more dollars on the sale, easy. By the way, I think $1100-1300 or so is right for a used 3 channel triple in good condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
