help with my concert lead please

[blackeys]

Hello, i'm new so i'd like to introduce myself my name is doug i'm 18 and play guitar, ect.

so last week i found a 77'/78 sunn concert lead at a thrift store w/ a 1x15 cab for $100.00. i played it and jumped on the deal

well i was playing lastnight and it wasn't as loud as usual and i turned it up and still nothing, so i looked around back and smoke started comming out, i turned it right off and took it apart and a resistor was all burnt

ever happen to anyone else?

thanks

Oh yeah, had that happen a bunch of times. It seems to be a very common problem amongst the concert series amps. I've had both of my amps do it. Once it was fixed, they've been rock solid ever since. Honestly, just bring it to a competent repair shop, and it'll be good for another 30+ years of service.
