A faulty Fender FM 210R has popped up on trademe (New Zealand ebay equivalent).

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=637998278

Just by reading that description (cant push it to max power without sound cutting out or becoming broken up and severely distorted) do you think it's worth getting to try and fix?

That's starting price of $65USD and buy now of $123USD.

Does anyone know what would likely be wrong and if it would be an easy fix that could even be done at home? (my dad knows his stuff in terms of electronics)

I'm after some nice Fender clean tone and this would be a steal if I could get it working.

Hi caseyjf,

The best chance to know what is wrong with it is to examine it in person. Any guesses without seeing the amp would be just that, guesses. For $65, it might be worth a look.

That's not possible, they live too far away. I just wanted to check if there was something obvious but obviously not, cheers.
