Members Billystrat Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 I just got my old Peavey TKO combo amp back from a band I quit over 3 years ago. Somehow in those 3 years, the preamp volume knob, the high eq knob, and the bottom ground prong of the plug were broken off. The amp still functions great it's just those knobs are broken off and I'd like to get them repaired. Is their any easy DIY way to replace knobs assuming I can find a schematic and get the pots needed. I don't want to sink much $ into it since I already has many more expensive amps, but Peavey always offered solid, loud amps and it could probably come in handy.

Members Bluescout Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 The great thing about Peavey (one of the great things) is you can call them and they have the parts in stock. You can even get all new knobs to make it look pretty!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Kindness Posted November 20, 2007 Moderators Share Posted November 20, 2007 I have not been in that amp, but generally speaking, if you know how to safely maneuver in an amp, this is not a difficult task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members misterhinkydink Posted November 20, 2007 Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 My usual answer to these questions is if the questioner asks if they can do something then they probably can't. You could probably replace the power plug as long as you observe polarity. The pots are soldered into circuit boards and would best be left to someone who knows what they're doing. Replacements can be had from Antique Electronic Supply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the safest and most prudent response. I am flogging myself as punishment for my more cavalier reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Billystrat Posted November 20, 2007 Author Members Share Posted November 20, 2007 Thanks to everyone for the help. I'll buy the parts first then take it to an amp guy, I guess. I'm good with wiring guitars, but amps are a whole different ball game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, if you're going to let it slide, just admit it. Otherwise, you could just say "sorry, man, not my problem - now pay up". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
