| I have a Peavey Nashville 1000 without a Power Transformer. Peavey has labeled them as Obsolete. Any suggestions as a replacement such as a Nashville 400? Thanks Eddie |

Hello Eddie,
I was wondering, is your power transformer burned or just not working?

| Hi Pat It doesnt have a Power Transformer in it. Someone was giving it away and I took it thinking i might by some chance find something that would work....Eddie |

Hi Eddie,
I will try to look into the requirements of the transformer, such as voltage/current needs. I do not think the NV-400 transformer will work.....but, hey.....who knows.........let's see......

| I have to wonder what killed the transformer? Have you found a schematic and the part number? I own a 1000 so I might be able to get the part number if it's not stuffed on the chassis inside. I thought these were a class D amp with a power supply. I think I had a schematic found online at one time. I had the chassis out long ago and replaced one of the pots for a broken shaft. I will have a look and see if I can help. |

Hi Eddie,
I have a NV-1000, and measured the voltages:
Primary.....120vac
Secondary...34vac with center tap, about 3A.
The transformer in the NV-1000 is used to power the amp ic chips (+ and - 15vdc).
The low voltage secondary of the NV-400 transformer runs the ic chips, too, and should work, but it will add lots of weight. Along with that, there may be other problems with your NV-1000, too, besides just lack-of-power-transformer.
I don't know how familiar you are with this kind of work, Eddie, so I CAUTION you with this. The NV-1000 has a switching power supply for the amp output section (that's why there's no humongaloid power transformer).
Along with about 150vdc in the main power section, and +/- 60 vdc, these voltages are deadly! And the primary 150vdc is NOT ISOLATED from ground, so that's an additional threat.
So be VERY careful when working on this.
............Pat. |

| Thanks Larry and Pat for the Information. I won't be doing the work for sure. I have a local Tech that repairs for Sam Ash and Guitar Center and has done work for me before. I was just trying to figure out something that would work. The weight wouldn't be an issue as it wouldn't be a gigging Amp. Thanks Eddie |
