It was definitely a unique solution...Although, I was kind of hoping I could get some sound out of her just by gutting that mess. Back to square one now, I guess. What would be some typical causes for an amp that powers up, but makes no sound? Someone scribbled "this amp sucks" on the inside of...

10 years I stalked an old B15 at the local music store before (finally) pulling the trigger. It powered on but didn't produce sound, however for the price I figured what the hell. I opened her up and immediately spotted what I presume to be really, really bad capacitors. I've never seen anything...

Channel 1 still makes my ears bleed, and even though I keep channel 3 clean, that works just fine too. I made the mistake of turning it on...

Beautiful work! I can't wait to see how it turns out all finished up.

Thamks everyone; it's going off to the tech. Better safe than sorry, right?

I recently attached an original lid/reverb unit to my Ampeg v4. I added a three prong cord, and attached it to the chassis where the lid meets the sides. I had previously had a new reverb unit with no lid in it, and it hardly hummed. The three prong gronded in the same place as it does now, just...
