| First likely culprit is output transistor failure. Second and not as likely a power filter cap failure |

| Thanks Ken. I figured you may chime in here. Are you doing any repairs these days? |

A few now and then. Freight is so high that a lot times it’s better to get a local shop if you have one.
Ten years ago about $1.00 a pound. Varies up to $3.00 (west coast from Georgia) |

The N-400 is a pain to replace outputs. They are solder in. To test they have to be de soldered
If Peavey would do that repair I would send the chassis to them |

| Thanks Ken. I hadn't really thought about shipping but you're right it has gotten crazy expensive. There is a shop not too far from here called Wickam Audio that has a good reputation for quality work. I'll take it up there. |
