Thrift Store 1970’s Peavey 260 Booster for $26, Will it Work?

[@janbill79]

I have a similar one. But it's the big, one called the super festival 800 series I have had it from about 1979. The fan quit working in it. So i didn't want to hurt it . Don't know if it works anymore, but just needs a fan. I now built a bench in the basement for repairing things like that. SO it's possible to get it up and running again It was very reliable when used as 1 of amps for bi-amping the PA/ I see a guy has one near me for sale right now but wants $150. when I would turn in on it would dim the lights for a second letting you know it cam on /and takes a lot of power.

I’m looking for one of these. I want to use it as a guitar amp

[@RTRoberto]

No. You don’t want to use this as a guitar amp. Trust me on that.

[@googaboogaloo]

@@RTRobertonot even using a preamp infront of it?

[@frigglebiscuit7484]

just use a pa amp. i have a peavey pa200 from this era, and it works great as a guitar amp.

[@googaboogaloo]

@@frigglebiscuit7484 yeah. But it’s not as fun as confusing guitar players in the audience with one knob and a VU meter
