Ampeg SVT 4 repair in 2020

[Brad Feick]

Hello folks-

I live in SE PA, and need an SVT 4 repaired that has one side of the amp out.
I did patch around, and verified that the power section is truly bad.

I searched Talk Bass to try to answer my own question, but some of the posts were old.

I'm willing to ship the amp to a good experienced Ampeg shop, or drop it off around Philly.

Any recommendations?

Thanks for your kind responses

Do you stay in the rural parts of PA? Any qualified tech in the local areas (if available) should be able to take look at it and see what' going on.

I would suggest only going to factory authorized service.
Here is Ampeg's list:

Thanks for the replies so far, I am in fact looking at the service center list and getting quotes.

I thought I remembered seeing that there was a repair facility that was formerly SLM?

In any case, I'm looking for someone who regularly works on this model.

Regards

There is a tech in State College PA that is one of the best I know of. PM me if you want his info.

Hodgy at Ampeg CS could probably hook you up but he's in Seattle. I suggest using Andy's contact in State College.
