New amp day
Posted: Thu Oct 28, 2021 1:15 am
Picked up this one. It is a baby, but it's not bad. It is the vintage version with battery power (takes "D" cells in a compartment in the back), or uses a 12VDC adapter.
Needed some work...
- Batteries had leaked. Battery compartment needed a complete clean-out and treatment with alkaline. No real damage. Just one of the screws discoloured.
- 12VDC power connector had disintegrated. Replaced.
- Pots scratchy to the point of unusability. Cleaned and lubricated.
- Cabinet was filthy. Cleaned and conditioned the Tolex. Cleaned everything else. Came up perfectly - not a blemish on it.
Total cost (CAD$):
- $20 for the amp
- $5 for parts
- $4 for a 12VDC power adapter from the thrift store.
