Ashton Viper 30 No Sound.

[argenta]

So I was presented with this little amp with customer saying there is no sound. The obvious fault is that the output transformer which carries the signal from the power tubes to the speaker is missing.
I need to find a 30W push pull 4 and 8 ohm speaker output.
I would appreciate if anyone could point me in the direction of said transformer.
As to why it's missing, well that's another story.

Cheers,
Rhea

What's the other story?

You need to find out why old one failed.
It would be a disaster to find powering it up with new one blows it again.

Replace OPT with small resistors and check voltages around output tubes.
If there is a very high current it could blow OPT again.
If red plating due to bad coupling cap could be too much for OPT.

Ok. Here's the story. Customer admitted amp was lent to a "friend". Said someone helped themselves to the output transformer for their own use.
Yeah I was a little what the? about that..
