    1980 Hamer Standard 4 String Bass. Serial Number 0373

    I have owned this from new in 1980 as a special order. It was played very hard through the 80s and I retired it in 1992. I recently took it out of its case and and it was in very poor shape, indeed. So I have cleaned it up and gone through everything and, to me, it is now back to original...

    Hiya, yes I saw that post and understand. As I’ve confirmed it’s a mid 71 I was hoping it might be a different transformer. I have a step down anyway so will keep going saving transformers till last. It’s gonna cost enough just to get it up and running!

    Super useful Wasnex! I am still hoping my originals are still viable but need a tech to assess them. I do not understand transformer theory at all! I have looked at both options you mention. Still hoping my originals can be wired for 240. Thanks again for the useful info!

    Thanks again both. Very useful!! any thoughts on the Power and Filament Transformers? I haven’t been able to tell if there are 240v wiring options available. It is definitely a mid 71 frame as all caps are May 71 or later.

    Thanks for the pointers both! I’m no Tech but I’m guessing the diodes referred to are D15-20?

    Ampeg SVT Blueline 1969/70

    So I thought I might post a short update on progress so far after the amazing help and suggestions I got above. the amp has been completely stripped and cleaned inside and out. A painstakingly slow process which also helped me learn the whole amp. I manage to save, clean and/or rebuild all the...
