I've got an Orange Overdrive OR120 (ser # 854) sitting on my bench. It came in not sounding nearly as loud as it should. It also blows the B+ fuse after about 30 minutes of rocking. The bias is turned all the way down, and if it is increased to 50% the amp get's noisy. At 75% the B+ fuse blows. I am replacing the power supply capacitors, since one of them reeds 300VDC to the shell. I discovered that the hard way.
At any rate.... the schematic at http://tdsl.duncanamps.com/schematics2.php?make=Orange is for a Graphic MK II, and it appears to be pretty much the same schematic as the OR120. Yes/No?
Anybody have an actual schematic for the OR120?
Is there any such thang as replacement transformers available in the event something worse has happened?
What about actual service manuals?
Thanks!
OR120 Schematics etc

The Orange amp field guide should have all the schematics you need...

Mercury Magnetics sells replacement trannys...but they're not cheap. www.mercurymagnetics.com
Do you have a decent steady neg voltage from the bais supply and a decent steady voltage coming into the plates and the screens? Have you tried it with different tubes?
