Hello,
Long time reader first time poster.
I own a 73 suitcase model 7054. It's a CBS issue but the amp has the fuse instead of the circuit breaker.
I normally use this for recording and I switch back and forth using the speakers and taking 2 direct line outs to the board from the amp.
If I'm going direct I put a dummy jack in the headphone jack to mute the speakers to better hear the direct sound from my monitors. This has worked great for years, till now. A few days ago I went to turn on the piano and got nothing, no hum no nothing. I plugged the output of the harp directly into my board and that worked but the amp appears to be dead. My first thought was the headphone jack. When I opened up the amp I found the resistors on the jack were fried. After some reading here I removed the resistors and soldered the lines directly to the jack. However the amp is still dead. No sign of life what so ever. I double checked the fuse, power cord and all the other connection but I can't find anything obvious.
So, have I fried the amp with my headphone muting and if so how and what component of the amp is the first place to check. This is my first time inside the Rhodes, I'll keep reading the board here for troubleshooting tips but if anyone can point me in the right direction I would really appreciate it.
