The music kind of mixer... not the kind for making cakes.  My small mixer that is part of my Yamaha PA was dropped some time ago and now makes a soft whirring sound. Would like to have it repaired so it runs silently again but have no idea where to take it! What kind of place repairs such things? Help? |

My Yamaha 300 has fan noise too. I just ignore it as once you run sound through it you don't hear it. Either replacing the fan or cleaning the fan should be the solution. Take it to Marty.

Calling Marty Reynolds. "Marty Reynolds, please pick up the courtesy phone."
(I don't know. I think you have to find a guitar/amp tech guy who'd be willing to look at it. Find somebody that works on guitar amps.)

If you're adventuresome, you could pop off some screws and see it the fan is bumped out of kilter. Could be a matter of just jostling something back into place (or move a loose wire) and put the cover back.

50% of electronic repair is really mechanical repair. When electronic devices get dropped quite often components get shifted, like a fan got knocked slightly out of alignment or a cable got shifted and is now touching the fan blade ever so slightly. Having someone who knows how to take gear apart and get it put back together properly is what is needed. I'm sure there are good repair shops in Millwaukee, we just need to help Cyndy find them.

Where do you buy your guitar strings locally? I'd ask them for advice for an amp repair guy.

Really, Cyndy, if you can see the screws that hold the base on, try to remove them, and see if you can see the fan. It might be something very simple. But I bet any large chain music store in Milwaukee would be able to take a look.

I will try to take a peek inside. Just put out a message on FB...maybe one of the local musician friends can advise me. Don't know why I didn't think of that first! Duh. LOL |

Simple repairs are always a good idea. But, bear in mind that you can get new four-channel mixer of similar quality to your Yammy mixer for $50-$75. (the $75 one will have XF ((and will be $75 or less)).
If you find someone who will look at as a favor, go for it. But, leaving it at a shop you don't have a good relationship with could result in a repair bill that would pay for two mixers.

I don't remember which Stage Pass she has but something like this:  But you are right I could just run my mixer into the two speakers, because it takes a wire from the built in mixer to the speaker part. See 1/4 input under where the mixer comes out. |

Doug, that is what mine looks like.
I usually use the mixer separate from the speaker anyway so I guess I should just check into getting a new mixer. I didn't realize they would be so reasonably priced.

I didn't realize they would be so reasonably priced. In today's world I would pay a few extra dollars for a mixer with a USB out. Record from your mixer to your laptop when you are out or your desktop when you are home. |

Any good electronic repair shop can take a look at your mixer. If they fix guitar amps they can fix your mixer or refer you to a friend that does.
