CS 800 on the blink

Post by gary darr »

I am posting this message for a band member, she has a CS 800 that was left to her by her father.At the time she didnt really need to use it so she just took it to a music store and they were supposedly going to have it sent to a peavey dealer in amarillo to be checked out.With this amp being a 'backup' amp she never really had an occasion to check to see if it worked ok. Now about two years later we're one amp short because a band member is leaving the band. To make a long story short we hook up to the monitor speakers, very low power. I told her I'll take the amp home to check it out on my board and speaker ,again low power the the fuse blows on it. I went to radio shack and got another 15 amp fuse to replace it and stills continues to blow.(the fuse I am using is a 120 v fast blow) the back of the amp does not specify fast or slow blow. I guess my question is after all this rambling on is ,is there any hope for this amp,am I using the right fuse,and should we be so trusting of a music store to do what they say they going to do( BTW she was charged over $150.00 for the work that I dont think even happend) Any help or comment appreciated.

Ship it back to the Peavey factory repair center. It will get fixed right and you won't be overcharged.

It apparently wasn't fixed, or fixed properly by the repair center you took it to.
