Bump! Back on the block.

EDIT: For some reason, I can't edit the original post. I had some problems with the amp cutting out, but that was easily fixed as dust was just building up in the amp (which I cleaned out). I will also include a Monster Speaker Cable with the sale along with the power cable.

Closing because I managed to somehow foolishly damage the input jack while cleaning out the pots with pot cleaner. I'll re-open this once I replace the jack.

BACK ON THE BLOCK!

I had a local tech professionaly install a new jack on this. However, there were some problems discovered.

The cutting out issue is not merely the pots; the circuit board is faulty. I haven't experienced the cutting out issue since I last worked on my amp, but my tech has reported that it was cutting out again. My tech (Pat at the music store) took a look at this and found that there were poor solder joints. When he took the board out, the connections were messed up due to the poor solder joints. He went and resoldered every connection. However, the amp is still faulty. He has determined that it is the circuit board that is the issue. I am having him redo the entire amp at my cost with a fresh board directly from GK. Once it is done, he will guarantee that the amp will be 100% reliable and in top shape.

This is back on the block for $210 + shipping. This is a fair price on a used amp with a professional repair. Many GK Backline amps leave the factory with poor solder joints, so this amp alone is above the rest and will be comparable to the higher up GKs with a pro re-doing all of the electronics instead of a machine. I will be making a minimal profit on it as is (repair will cost me $130 or so), and therefore will not lower my price. I am putting this amp on the block early to generate interest and hopefully generate a sale to help me get the amp back so I can send it to the buyer.
