Do not attempt to service electrical devices without understanding the risks involved. Tube amps present the opportunity to injure oneself critically or fatally in a multitude of ways. Do not be lulled into a false sense of security based upon the volume of readily available content on the subject matter online.

Thankfully the uncle removed the original board, and installed a new one for the mods. Looks like a fun restoration. ❤🎸🤘🏻

The writing on the doghouse reminds me of a sailor's last message to his family, frantically scratched onto the inner hull of his doomed submarine. Do take caution when venturing into these roiled waters, who knows what surprises lurk beneath the surface.

The Kraken!

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

Communication, admin and time management are the most difficult and time consuming parts of this job.
Without them, nothing else matters. You're out on your arse.

[@thatampguy]

We don’t he get paid for those things either!

[@matthewf1979]

Ohhh baby! An amp in this condition is riiiiight up my alley. I love a good restoration project, especially at the right price.

[@thatampguy]

I’ll be testing the transformers soon. I’m really looking forward to being able to get her playing again. The dude who passed on in the midst of this project will smile again!

[@chrisfit]

@@thatampguycan you show the process you do to test the transformers? Would be super interested! Thanks!

[@lionscircle4700]

Hope the face plate is still around. It would be a shame if that is mia. Nice project.

[@thatampguy]

It’s gone 😵‍💫

[@chrisfit]

What’s wrong with silver mica? Thanks!

[@thatampguy]

Nothing. Just a personal taste thing. Sliver micas are too smooth sounding to my ear. Part of the black and silverface sound are those grainy ceramics.

[@BradsGuitarGarage]

Come on, man!
Who the hell writes notes on amps!?!?
Shaking my damned head.

[@thatampguy]

Be flexible! He ran out of paper.
