So I bought this La2a clone from the US on ebay. I'm in the UK. On paper it looked like a good deal; built with NOS parts - very credible. Needed a voltage converter so got one from Maplin in readiness. The unit arrived this morning. Plugged it in and it passes audio fine, but there is no gain reduction going on and the make-up gain is soooo senstive that I can't wind it up much more than a hair or so off the zero position before it runs out of headroom. Jeez.
I feel like a bloody fool. :-[ Of course I've contacted the seller, but there's a time difference and I'm upset and want my new toy to work.
Any clues anyone? Anything a non-techie like me can check visually? I'm hoping this is something simple I could rectify here because if I have to return it chances are I'll have to bear the cost which will be around £100 to the USA and I've waited so long for it to arrive.
Help please anyone?
