Hey there, great video! Love the idea with the 3 different impedance levels, I didn't even consider that. I recently obtained a later model from around '42. I was wondering if you have any videos on how you restored this. I would really like to do this amp justice in restoration. Thanks!
Hi Nick. I posted a few Facebook live videos to my page, but not really a play-by-play. This amp caused a great deal of head scratching. I hope yours does not use the old grid cap style preamp tubes. Those are hard to get quiet.
@@ProfessorDan thanks for your response! I checked out the videos and really realised just how different my model is. There is a microphone input as well as the three instrument inputs. Not sure the difference in complication but you are right in that this is a head scratcher. I was wondering if you had any internet links that helped you or just your prior knowledge. I'm not even sure where to start now. Cheers
@@ProfessorDan none of the volume pots seem to function. It's either loud and crunchy or off. But just the other day I was playing through it and the signal grew weaker and weaker until I had to strum hard to get just a non musical low volume static sound. Took it apart to check the tubes/caps and noticed the oil caps had leaked or corroded. Not sure if that had something to do with it.
I have my dad's Epiphone Electar Zephyr in pristine shape. Been in our closet since 83 and covered. I know from the early 40s. Lo I king to see how much it is worth. It has #8310 on head? I can send pictures.
Hey, I have one of these and your input resistor mod is just what I'm looking for. Can you offer any input on doing this? I found a schematic showing the input jacks all having 50K resistors, I assume to be 1/2 Watt Carbon Comp located in the control panel. However, when I pulled mine, I only saw one larger resistor on one end of the encased jack holder. Any help or guidance would be appreciated for this.
Well done! Thanks for saving thd Zephyr, and demo.
Did you mention where you're adding reverb?

@@Ngkgbg What kind of condition is your amp in? Does it have problems?

I didn't hear the reverb on input two. I liked it best.
