I just picked up an old Traynor YBA-2 bass amp, which I was given for
$25 CDN because it's not working. No sound from the amp, I haven't
opened the back yet, but it seems like one of the power tubes is dead,
and the other is glowing but really struggling. I can't easily see
what the preamp tubes are or aren't doing. Does anyone have any
suggestions on where to begin with getting this amp back to working
order? There are a couple of people I know of around town who are into
restoring vintage amps, but for all I know it could just need new
tubes. I'll likely take it to one of the experts so I don't kill
myself with it, but does anyone have any suggestions or advice? When I
asked the guy if it had been unplayed for a while, he said yes, but he
then gave me the impression that he was talking about a month or so,
not years. He really didn't seem to know much about the amp. I expect
it will probably need tubes and caps, but other than that...?
If I were you, I'd bring it to a reputable tech. Don't turn it on again. Ask to keep all old tubes. My YVM-1 was loaded with Mullards.
