I have become the Ballantyne amplifier repair man by default. I don't want the job, but someone has to do it. Would some please E-mail me and give me some advice on fixing the MX-24 series. The ones that look like the electic chair. I have amps in various states of disrepair. One has a low voltage short, one has a intermittent high voltage short, and another just doesn't have output. I would send you one but the UPS man would hit me.

Travis, I would love to have one! A lot of problems in those amps were filter cap related (That big 10-mike, 1500V momma, in particular.)
