Marshall 82 WTS LITHIUM BATTERY, 3 LED POWER INDICATOR => Model IDX-E80S Car Audio Amplifier

Marshall jcm dsl 100 head


posted by pclose on Jan 25, 2008


The amplifier was in storage for a couple of years, following a re-tube by my amp tech.

I plugged in the amp, and it played ok for about half an hour.
It then started making a sound like a bad earth contact.
When I went to switch off the amp, I was surprised with the amount of heat from the proximity of the off/standby swithches.

I took the back off the amp and found a power tube and an effects tube blown.

My amp tech replaced some resistors that had been piggy backed onto three original resistors.

He said that someone had done some work on the head before I even bought it. {I bought it new}

Before I took the head, my tech plugged into a quade box and when he turned on the amp, it immediately blew two power tubes.

My tech said he knew of a guy with the same issue, but he does not know where to go from here.

Can you please assist me with what may be the problem?

Paul Close.

try to find any diagram from a website.. then print it and give it to your amp tech. so he could Identify what are the wrong, what the first guy did to your amp and its better to buy a whole new tubes. I know your amp tech is very good. I'm just a noob about tubes yet I want to know how this works. hoping for the best for your amp tube.
