The Peavey factory service department or possibly Ken Fox in Georgia. I wouldn't send it any other place.
I had a Session 500 (small cabinet model) that I used for a long time. My right arm is slightly longer from carrying it.  |

| I bought a session 500 on ebay that didn't work when I got it. It was the only bad experience I have had with ebay. I sent it to the factory to be fixed. It sounded great when I got it back. Although I had to connect the output to the speaker in my Nashville 400, as the speaker in the 500 was also shot when I bought it. A peavey dealer tried to get me a new one for over a year. He finally gave up. One of these days I will resume trying to find one for it. |

| Due to the weight and many molex plug issues I am no longer working on Session 500 amp. Had a 2 week back ache (seriously) from the last one in the shop. |

| I had The Speaker Shop in Youngstown Ohio recone the BW speakers in both of my session 500's. They sound GREAT! |

Ken, did you find any solution to the molex connector problem. I loved the work you did on my NV400, I was wanting to send just the power head to you.  Cause shipping the entire unit would cost me... an entire unit.

If you have a single chassis (not the large split Session 500) I will be glad to work on it.
Basically I clean and re-tension the connectors and say a prayer right after I ship it out!!! |

Mine says Mark IV acrossed the front , so so much for wishful thinking.
