Possible Nashville 400 purchase, seeking advice

Factory modded later models never had OPA2604 chips........Factory kits sold by Peavey did have OPA2604 chips In the user install kit

Thank you for the clarification; I did not know that the factory kits and factory mods were different.

the only real important reply back is,

" How much $$ does the seller want " ? Did you even say ?

All this other conversation is peripheral, its a great amp one way or the other. The last N400 I owned I paid $325 at a pawn shop, I sold it a few years later for $350, it was a mid 80's amp.

Just buy the dang thing forget about all this technical UPDATES stuff.

While you are analyzing all these details to death , another Steel player will just look at it, turn it on, confirm it works and buy it.

A trick I saw Mark Robinson use to see the little white sticker next to the speaker terminals without taking the speaker out. Use your phone and take a photo. You cant see the sticker, but your phone can.

There should be a white identification label with the printed model and impedance located by the speaker terminals where the speaker wires attach. Hard to see without a mirror. If you or the owner have opportunity to look for it.

I believe Richard is right that the 1502-4 should be in there unless the speaker has been changed out which happens quite often in amps of this age.

I have some photos I can post if Richard doesn't.

Or "yellow: label", the Holy Grail, LOL
