PA head 1145PA [message #8719] Wed, 04 July 2007 10:26   bbird Messages: 13 Registered: July 2007 Location: MICHIGAN Junior Member Looking for any info on a 67? (based on your sn# chart), 4 channel PA Head model #1145PA I aquired about 20 years ago played through awhile and stashed. I ran accoss it again and found this site (great site by the way!) I didn't see any info on the site for this model and was wondering if anyone knew the spec's for it and what the extra jacks on the back are for. 2 1/4" went to speakers but there is an rca I'm assuming went to a mixer? and another 1/4" jack I'm not sure of? Any info would be appreciated. Report message to a moderator

It originally came with two speaker cabinets, each one containing 2-15" Jensens and a 15" high freq. horn. The head is a 200A series "energizer", which is sort of a cross between the earlier Frankenstein heads and the much more common 200B series heads. It is rated at 100 watts RMS and as you know, has 4 channel and reverb. Besides the two speaker jacks, there is an RCA jack that is used as an output to either another amp, for more power or to a tape recorder input, and a 1/4" jack that works with a standard foot switch to turn on and off the reverb. All this for a mere $1,145.00! The earlier series Frankenstein amp model numbers were all based on the list prices and speaker brands. In the A-series amps, only the PA's continued with this system. Out of curiosity, does your head have the two push button circuit breakers on the front panel? Bill Report message to a moderator

As to your questions, I'm not in front of the unit. I don't remember any but it must have something for protection but I'm pretty sure it' not on the front? When I got the unit ('83?) it had 1 bad channel that I replaced a transistor on and used for a couple of gigs for a church youth group and then stashed in the closet. Ran accross it the other day and may resurect it with a couple of cabinets. Report message to a moderator

I would assume that it must be fused inside. Report message to a moderator

There are no known official A-series schematics out there as of yet. I know that a few of the guys here have found that one of the other model schematics seems to be very close to the A-series boards. I want to say that it's the model 400 PA, but don't trust my memory and put up a separate post looking for an A-series schematic. One of the other guys here will chime in and let you know what to look for. Bill Report message to a moderator
