Had one around 78. It kept blowing speakers. When it worked, wasn't crazy about the tone. Your mileage may vary... Replaced it with an SVT; solved everything!

Mine got stepped on by a drunk chick at a recent gig; killed it for the night. I managed to bend the ground tab on the inside to hold it for a better contact. It's just a matter of time until it becomes intermittent. Sooo... did you get ever get the part and get things back up and running? How...
