While burning an hour at MusicGoRound while waiting for GP at his band rehearsal, this old amp found me. That store is a lot like the dog pound. There are all these old amps and guitars that need a good home. How could I pass this one up? 60 watts of vintage 1974 power for $25?!?
Since CP is all set to embark on the electrical engineering program at UNL, I figured this would be a good project for us. The amp had a lot of noise when turned up with no instrument plugged in. It looked like the 40-year old capacitors were probably at fault. The big silver one on the right was oozing out its guts. We replaced several parts and now it sounds much better.
