Common misfit
Not good. Looks like all the caps will need to be replaced before we can really try to figure out what's wrong with it. Ron suggests throwing in the towel on it.
Now I'm back to nowhere with my amps.
Ron's suggestion is this...
Buy a chassis only from weber, then build the amp with parts from his stock. He has shit tons of NOS and new amp parts laying around that he charges regular prices for. He says we can probably build a running chassis for $500 or less. I'd build the box myself.
Should I look that direction or try to find something else?
I do love those trashy old tweed sounds and they aren't easy to find in modern amps. All the modellers I've played sound very little like the real champ I tried earlier today. Way too refined.
He has old RCA tubes, jensen speakers, etc and should be able to build a pretty convincing tweed.
