ADJ V3000plus and V4000plus Face Plates

Can Any one Help???? PLEASE

Dude are you like dunking your amps in water or storing them in a damp location?

Because that's the only reason I can think why this is happening to you. I've had my V5000+ for over a year now and I don't see any signs of oxidation or rust on the face or any part of my amp.

Besides I thought they were made of aluminium, that stuff should never rust.

ROQ out.

How are are your amps? The only thing I can think of is that they are very old before the aluminum ones. Have you called the service department yet. They can probably offer some solutions. Make sure you keep your amps in a dry location

ROQ,

Take alook at this picture

I got these amps in 2003, it can't be old they have had moderate use, And stored inside a rack but my rack has no covers. But still there has to be a soluction for this.

I know Juan, he lives in the DR (Caribbean). He uses these on alot of mobile "outdoor" parties. I have seen pics of the setup. The metal is corroding from the salt water in the air and the tropical climate. Let me see if I can get someone to send you new plates. Of course you can always remove the faces sand them and spray paint them yourself. But let me see if I can find you some help. BTW, If that's what happens to the case of your gear, imagine what happens to the insides. Juan, maybe you should dry them with a hairdryer or something after the gigs to make sure the electronics don't corode. Other than that I would have to recommend ***** K2's as they are sealed and made for harh environments.

Woahhhhh from seeing that picture, that's pretty extreme. I noticed the huge dust build up on the intake air vents as well. I'd be more concerned with that rather than the rust. Restrictive air flow to your amp will lead those babys heating up and an inevitable death. When was the last time you had them serviced? A good service technician should clean that up for you.

DJ Stevie Ray,


Your right.. I have to agree i do alot of out doors gigs close to the caribian sea. I can sand down the grills and repaint them, but what about the aluminum plate that has the prints out, i can't fix that.

DJ ROQ,

I Do the cleaning my self. Last time i clean the Airfilters was in December. THe inside of both amps are in plestine condition is like new. I usually clean it every three months. Its time for another cleaning section

Juan

hmmm i guess no new faceplates

I haven't had an aswer from Tom in a While


Juan

Juan,
you emailed Tom?

DJ Stevie Ray,

Yeah, i emaled Tom Freret we have been talking, he replied back a few days a go saying that at the parts and services dept they don't have faceplates, and i reply saying if there was any way he can request this part at the amsembly factory, i'm still waiting for his reply, it has been a while maybe 4 days.

I mean theres things that just doesn't fit in my head, how can a Brand has no availble parts for there amps, it not just fans or front bottons but what about the rest. Its like a car manufacture saying it has no doors avaible for there cars!!!!...

Juan

i think there sould be a something that ADj can do. I mean if someone read this topic that person can think in a bad way i hope i get my point.


Thanks Again

Juan,
The people over at American Audio don't get much higher than Tom. I hope he can figure out some way to help you.

Hi It's Tom,

I don't remember receiving the request for getting faceplates from the factory. Last I remember, you were going to put them more of a closed rack and clean them. Also, It might be a good idea to put a fan on them to prevent moisture from building up. If you get new faceplates, they will probably rust again. What about painting the faceplate so there is not metal exposed.

Thanks - Tom

Hi tom, Yeah i sent you an email asking you if there was a way to request the faceplace at the asembly line or factor.And yes its posible to paint them and take the rust away i can agree on that, but what i'm scare is the print out Other than that it can done. I bought a new rack with covers and i got clear car shine paint to spry over the new faceplace, i don't think mostier will get in there and ruin the party again.

So tom i await your reply.
Thanks Again for your time

Juan
