It is in Jeff's hands now at Velvatone. I am totally impressed with his knowledge. He knew exactly what my concerns would be and gave me a lot of options to choose from to help my budget and to fit what I was looking for. He also guarentees his work so I can bring it in if there is a problem. He also said if I needed tubes and got them from him, he would install them and bias them for just the cost of the tubes. He is replacing the caps on the underside by the transformer. They were bubbles a bit and a little scorched looking. Putting in some Atoms there. He is also replacing the caps on the tube sockets and the power relating ones. He will check the caps that impact sound and tone, but only replace them if there is an issue. He said that these are the sound of the amp, so he only messes with them if it is needed. He is also installing some matches power tubes and testing my other tubes, adding a new three prong power cable, new pilot light, and also cleaning it and cleaning all contact points. He said he will also check and clean the pots as needed as well.
I am thrilled to have him work on it. His shop is FULL of old amps and cabinets. He worked for Boeing as an electrician and has NASA training on soldering and electronic work.
I can't wait to get it back. He said with the work he is doing, this fine amp should be good for the rest of my life. (Aside from tube replacements.)
