Hello all,

I converted a 206 amp to 200 specs, adding the headphone jack, line out, vibrato pot, 2 resistors, iec jack.

I turned on the amp when it wasn't connected to the reedbar and it turned on ok, I could hear the static get louder with volume. I plugged it into the reedbar and it played! Very distorted sound though. All of a sudden, about 15 seconds later, heard a little crackle or two, then, No sound! Orange lamp is still on though. Turned it off. Waited a few minutes. Turned on/off a few more times, then sound! Distored again. Played a few notes, small pop(s) then sound went out again. What to do?? Any thoughts?

*Edit: only 14 volts on reedbar
