Hello,
I love my Egnater Rebel 20. I'm having a problem with it though. After having what appeared to be a bad EL84 tube, I installed a pair of new EL84 tubes and opened up the amp to bias it as I have done several times in the past. This time though, I screwed up. In my haste, I accidentally overturned the EL84 adjustable bias resistor potentiometer, and broke the head off of it. The amp is out of warranty and it's 100% my fault, so I contacted Egnater, through their website to see about getting a new resistor to install myself.
It took forever, and several nagging emails on my part, but I finally got a response from their service guy, Josh. He told me they didn't have any of these resistors on hand to send me but that he would see if he could order some...this was about a week ago, and even though I've emailed him since, I haven't received a response yet. I'm sick of playing email / telephone tag, and simply want to fix my amp so I can use it again.
Does anyone know what the value of this EL84 bias resistor is? I've never seen an adjustable pcb mounted trimpot that looked like this before. Is it a standard available part that I could order through Mouser, or is this an Egnater specific part?
Please see the attached photo for details about the part I am talking about. Thanks!
