I don't get it. The customer wanted individual mounts to isolate the vibration of one string from all the others, eg to minimize sympathetic vibration. Yet you have connected all the mounts on the back with that brass plate? There again, maybe the customer simply didn't like the gold bridge. Nice job though.
Which schematic were you using? Something from ampgarage? It doesn’t sound like any of the dumble models I’ve played or heard? Your work is nice and clean though
@@jennC8797 the problem with alcohol, acetone, lacquer thinner, it will all harm finish. So yes alcohol will work but you can’t get it on Lacquer finishes. If you have a catalyzed finish like Poly then yes you can use alcohol.
Very repairable. In this case about an hours worth of labor to do a good job. I’ll replace all the caps on that board that you see as those caps are prone to failure.
You now have 100% of the heater current flowing through the skinny pilot light wires. Should have landed the wires from the power tranny to the 1st tube socket.
looks like you are going to offer an amp build this year? will they be on Ebay? Hi from L.A. originally from Salisbury and also Ocean City------ woot woot!!
Hi! Yes I’ll be offering some amps this year. I will be selling direct. You can find me on Instagram or Facebook. I will post a video here as well. My email is chesapeakeamprepair@yahoo.com
cool, I got off of social media, because in my age group it's just a bunch of old people arguing about politics...... but I would like to see your builds...I will sub and like and that way if you post, then I will see it. Yeah, selling direct indeed.....Ebay charges way too much now....@@ChesapeakeRepair
I have a Fender amp and I see that one of the resistors is burned. The lines on it are cooked and there are no other identifing markers. How can I find out the replacement part that I need? Thanks
Find a schematic and determine which value it is. If you can’t find a schematic you’ll have to trace the resistor and understand its function to determine what value is needed.
Great job dude! I'm shocked for the cleaning wirings, I'ts very good to see. My HRD needs that work, but there isn't technician near to me and seems to be an hard work for a newbe!
Mogami patch cable would probably be too big, just a pin to work with inside an amp. The shielded wire in this amp is just standard coax style shielded wire. I think it’s 24gauge core, which is pretty thin. I have since switched to a different kind. I like the “ricenbacher” style shielded wire that Mojotone has. I think the core is 20 or 22gauge.
My biggest thing is single core wire.. it gives me the shivers. If it breaks then that's it for the conductivity. With multi core you are unlikely to break every strand at one point and so it's a safety net... This stuff does happen out there and if it's your bias supply then heaven help you. There's good iron in those devilles. I'd be more a straight bassman or marshall out of them but that's just taste. And those connectors with the screws... Please no! Tidy job though!
Came for the build,but holy shit, the tips are legit! The I have been building electronic things for decades and never came across the laminate idea… fantastic!
Unbelievable, that you build what I just heard. You look so young, but man, what a responsive sounding amp. Who are you? Where are you? And where have you been? I’m in Chesapeake, Va. and I can only admire what you’ve accomplished. God bless you…..
That is a Healy Guitars Growler. I’m not sure they have a name for the color. It’s just green. But look up Healy guitars. Small builder out of Massachusetts. Really great guitar.
I’m digging the Fountain City Guitars shirt! I live in the KC Metro and I have guitars in and out of their shop all the time! The twins are real wizards AND really cool guys! Looks like some nice work on your part! Thanks for sharing!
The original fender design with the tube sockets on a circuit board with all the heat rising is just ASS. The engineering team should have done better than that garbage! Your flying lead approach to the tube sockets is credible!!
Thanks for the tips, covering the paper-work in plastic sleeves so you can write on it is a No1 tip, also those valve base pcbs might be useful. How long did it take to frim start to finish once you had all the parts?
Between testing the old one down, populating the board, ordering the right parts(a lot of parts for this build aren’t standard stuff that I keep in stock), wiring, burn in, play test, and tweaking. About 8hours. That will get a bit faster the more I do. But this initial one was probably about 8 hours.
