Mesa Boogie V Twin , 1997
 

Working order but an intrusive mains buzz on the clean channel, not the same
as stray mains pick up, its like picture on sound buzz on a TV. Buzz at most
on minimum of gain pot and least on maximum. No effect on buzz , altering
the other pots.
Valves check out on tester fine, no change in buzz swapping them around. No
problems on any switches, pots or sockets. Soldering looks fine, No noise
on the HT line.
This preamp must have been used in heavy rain, or something like , with the
previous owner. Had to drill out one of the casing screws to get inside.
Present owner has not had problems for the couple of years in his hands.
