Thank you so much! This is awsome! No, I haven't solved it right now. Just yesterday the right capacaitor arrived and I'm planning to rewire the board this weekend. Cheers, Arne

Hey guys, another question: In the red area of the picture is a 680r carbon film resistor. Originally theres was a 680r 1W carbon composition resistor. I would like to swap it to the originally, but ist quite hard to get one. In Germany I'm only able to get a 1/2W carbon composition resistor -...

Wow thank you, Jon!! I guess this detailed documentation will help me a lot, although it's from a blackstripe. This evening I'll see how far I will make it with your advice :) Cheers, Arne

Hello to all you lucky Mesa/Boogie guys! Interlude: Quite a long time ago my green striped Mark begun blowing fuses every second take off. So I gave it to our new bandmate for ja complete cap job, because he is a passionate diy-proaudio guy. But in the meantime (3-4 months later) he left our...

Hi Dave and thank you! sorry, didn't recognize your last post. I changed the burnt resistors and diodes, the fuse and all power tubes. Didn't pull the board. For a while it seemed working fine. Played some shows with great tone. But sometimes at powering on, the amp immediately blows a fuse. I...

Hey guys, after having 10 great and satisfying years with my reliable Mark III (Blue Stripe, Simul Class) it seems to start developing symptoms of old age. Sometimes at switching on the power switch, it immediately blows a fuse. After changing the fuse and a successful power-on, it operates...

Thank you both for your informative comments! I'll bring the amp to my tech next week, in the hope that he won't need to pull the board.

Hello guys, Last wednesday my all time favourite MK III blue stripe suddenly began to hum, then lots of smoke passed out of the eq-slots and finally it completely died. So the next day I opened it and saw that a few resistors were burned. Now I just want to change the damaged things, but it...
