Crackling audio from right side of headphone jack. I threw it in a suitcase working fine and when I arrived at destination it was broken. Dunno.
This. I've salvaged several bass and guitar amps that were discarded as "broken", most of them had broken solder joints in the output jack or dirty pots. Both are very easy to check and repair.
Only one guitar amp needed more work, the previous owner had somehow managed to break the amp's main PCB board in two and the connections between components were severed. I restored the connections with jump wires and it came back to life.
