Details

For sale I have an Ampeg pf50t that needs a little love.

The amp functions and sounds great, but there’s an audible buzz/rattle from the right side of the amp when it’s operating. I took it to a shop that had a long service wait a couple months ago and the tech said I could leave it there for a couple months for them to take it apart and fix it, or just tighten and adjust the rattling part as necessary to enjoy at home playing. I chose the latter, but I imagine if the next owner would like to gig it, some bench time will be likely. Hence the price.

local to New England/New York. Willing to drive a decent distance from southern Vermont.

Buzzing out of the power transformer ?

I believe that’s the spot, it’s a buzz/rattle. Not audible through the amp, but physically while the amp is operating. Adjusting it by hand can cure it for a bit, but that’s not a long term solution.

Not to start a troubleshooting thread, but is this buzz apparent in any of the DI signals, specifically when the amp is run loudly into a cab (i.e. cab vibrates head, is the buzz in the DI signal)? It can be hard to hear any high frequency content in many cabs.
