Mike, my mid-80's Nashville 400 has an annoying habit(recent) of cutting out,kind of the loose wire type of thing,when it's first turned on.This is an intermittant problem and always goes away after a minute or two? The Lemay page said that these amps sometimes develop this when an output transistor screw gets loose.What do you think.Thanks in advance,Marley<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by marley hay on 14 March 2001 at 07:53 AM.]</p></FONT>

Have you tightened the screw to see if that fixes it?
Most intermittant problems with Peaveys that I see here are related to the loose Molex connector where the reverb wires attach to the chassis.

Jim, I am unfortunately electronically challenged.I will check the reverb connection,but will have to find the component in the schematic before I can do anything else.Thank you for your input.

That could be a leaky coupling capacitor in one of the preamp stages. They will act up for a bit when turned on and can be noisy then after voltage has been on for a while it will clear up.
You'll either have to send it to Peavey or take it to a qualified tech to have that fixed as it will take a bit of troubleshooting to isolate the capacitor, if it is the problem.
