Good morning. What is your asking price and are there any pictures available?

Pics were taken today. I included a close up of a small "scuff" on the front corner of the case.
I had the amp on the floor due to space constraints, which did not help with the accident. The other amp I have has a tube cage so safer to have on the floor.
I am not sure what exactly the damage is, but maybe the rectifier tube socket is broken. I paid $995 in 2017, and it worked perfectly until this. Maybe another member might be able to help with a fair price would be under the circumstances?

Wow, I bet that gave you a pit in the stomach!

I imagine this could be relatively simple.... or not. Even though a minimalist design, there is a lot in there including parts and connections, and this sounds like a relatively notable hit.

I can imagine, like you, that this could possibly have damaged the rectifier socket and/or connectors.

But was the amp on when it happened. I am wondering also if knocking the rectifier out while the amp was on, seems this could possibly have shorted the rectifier along the way and blown a fuse (or more depending on if fuses are inside that amp).

Seems that just the impact could possibly even break fuses. Have you checked the IEC fuse, and the internal ones if your amp has those? And if you are comfortable opening it, might look around carefully and see if anything catches your attention... including looking over solder connections to see if any broke

But I suppose it could possibly be a just a fuse or two... fingers crossed...

If not something you can fix, like fuses or whatever level you are confident and safe with, being the original owner especially, could be worth calling Decware to see what they might charge per hour to look and fix... may be worth it even in prep for selling so that you and the buyer know it is all good. A trained tech would not likely take long to identify problems. And I imagine there may be some creative way to integrate this with a warranty transfer setup for the next buyer if you wanted??? Guessing they can likely mitigate or even fix the powder coat "scuff" too. My thoughts anyway.

Good Luck!

Will

Has this sold yet?

Hello: no the amp was not on when the speaker fell on it. The plastic center pin on the rectifier tube was snapped off in the socket. I was able to turn the amp over and have it fall out. I heard back from Steve who simply said it should be sent to him for service. I’m interested in letting go as-is.

Yes, all of this has been on my mind as well. For now I am going to pursue getting it fixed and then come back to maybe selling it.

Wondering if you will be listing the amp again at a later date?
