Hi all,
I bought a used crest 8002 off of eBay. After the shipping, found channel 1 couldn't come on, because it took so long to receive this, I can't open a case with eBay (past the 45 day). Tried a repair shop but every time they fix the channel, it blows the fuse, when they fix the fuse with a stronger wire it blows the channel. Anyone knows where I can get a pre assembled channel 1 module for this amp?

To get it not only repaired, but repaired right, I would send it to Crest Audio Service and have them fix it for you. Obviously shipping to the USA or England and back will be a bit from Uganda, but no one is better at fixing that stuff than the Crest Audio Service department.

I had to get my Crest Audio 10004 repaired, So I took it to the USA service center. While it was not cheap, they did a great job and it is now working very well.

I wish I could afford to ship this to the US and back, it would cost to close if not more than the price of the amp. Can't I just buy a channel 1 module?

It is obvious the "repair shop" is not repairing the amp.

You DO NOT put a stronger fuse it "hoping" it will not blow.

Fuses blow FOR A REASON.  you HAVE TO find the problem FIRST, THEN replace with a proper size fuse.

I would look for another repair shop-since the one you are using is apparently guessing at the issue and trying to pass it on-NOT the way to do it.

I agree these guys here are just guessing. Am on the lookout for a better repair shop. But would wish to know if I could buy a whole module!

My guess is that complete module assemblies are available only to Crest-authorized service centers and technicians.

Have you called Crest and asked them? After all, it would come from them.

maybe you can send just the module to crest

[Conrad Muzoora]

Let me find out if Crest can sell me the module. Problem is these are discontinued amps. They really sound so good though! Universal power supply etc. damn!!!!

I forget who it was that helped me at Crest, but about 6 years ago I was able to buy a brand-new front panel for my long-discontinued 8001.  You just never know what they might have laying around...

Hi all,
Managed to remove entire ch1 module from the amp. A friend is helping me ship to the US. I have seen a module from crest 10004 on eBay for cheap and was wondering if it could fit in the crest 8002? Since 10004 are simply two 8001's and the biggest difference between 8001 and 8002 is the power supply? Right?
Please advise.

I would send it to the closest REAL Crest authorized repair shop, If you want to ship it to Meridian MS thats the HQ and home of the Crest repair center, this may be allot closer,

If someone put a "Larger" fuse in my amp and it blew the channel or damged the transistors etc, THEY would be paying for the repairs.

The Pro series amp your talking about are very hard to work on, also very dangerous to work on if your don't know what your doing. I send mine to a guy in LA for repair, I was told about him from the Crest service Center. Things have changed with Crest now that Peavey owns them. I sent a amp in a few years back and it took quite awhile to get it back. You can buy a used 8001  on Ebay for around $600. and the last one Crest repaired cost about $400. plus shipping. Also if you need only one amp I would look at the Pro 9200 or 8200 used. Much lighter and a lot of power. Good Luck and I think I would just bite the bullet and buy something else. Jerry

I have seen a module from crest 10004 on eBay for cheap

Unless there is more listed,I think thats my freind Ed's last 10004 module he's selling. While I dont think it will fit your amp,you might wanna hit him with a few crest questions he's pretty knowledgable about them. He had 4x 10004 a while ago.
From what I remeber he told me one sound co bought up most of the Crest modules and Peavey/Crest wants $600 flat rate to repair a module thats if the board aint cooked.

Sorry to wake up this thread. Got a deal on a broken crest 8002 with only channel 2 working. Any idea if the channel modules are interchangeable? If I buy this broken amp, the plan is to remove the working Ch B and fit it on channel A in my amp thus restoring it.

Hi Conrad!

As long as the problem with the amplifier is limited to the circuitry of the non-working channel module, this would work as a fix. However, if there is a problem with the power supply or pre-amp board, this will not fix the problem.

However, since you now have two broken amplifiers, I suspect you will be able to get one working amp put together from all the parts of these two amplifiers.

As a test, you can swap the A & B channel modules in the chassis to see if the problem follows the module or stays where it was. If it follows the module, then you know where the problem is.

Have fun, good luck, and be safe while you are digging around inside that thing!

Thanks!
Josh

[Conrad Muzoora]

Thanks Josh. I think the power supply is ok since the ChB is fine. I don't know about the pre amp though. Am going to open her up and take some pix
