How to quickly remove Tube amp or Radio Filter Capacitor D-Lab Electronics Short

A method I always use in the shop. Remove the wiring, score the mounting tabs, knock the cap off, clean off the lugs, Install the new one! This is my first Shorts clip. Thought it would be fun to try. Want more of these?

Hey Alvin, Thank you for the expeditious tutorial. Have a most awesome evening!

Chipmunk capacitor surgery. No chipmunks were harmed in the making of this video.

[@bobblum5973]

Chip & Dale would be proud of work like that. 🐿

Donald Duck performs a great narrating job even at 0.25 speed! hahah

Oh Alvin, I think this is a bad idea.

[@AdmiralQuality]

You want to make sure you suck/blow it out really good after doing anything that creates metal shavings and dust like drilling and Dremelling. Oh and tape over any magnets that you can't remove from the area as well or you'll never get ferrous metal shavings off them. (Ask me about the time I Dremelled my guitar's bridge saddles in-place without taping over the pickups first. Then even worse, I naively de-charged the AlNiCo pickup magnets with a strong ceramic speaker magnet I was hoping would pull them off of it. One of the dumbest days of my life, LOL!)

Hey D-Lab. Quick question that has probably been exhausted on most forums, but I wanted to come to.a guy who really knows his stuff. I have a 1970's Super Reverb. Had the Master Volume, mid control (normal channel), and pull boost knob... I don't use the Normal channel at all, nor the Tremolo effect. I've been looking into the old trick of pulling tubes on the normal channel, and swapping the 12at7 Phase inverter to a 12ax7... Just curious on your thoughts regarding this, and perhaps a video suggestion for those who are interested in the "science" behind this, what it does, and why it does it... Side question... I notice that even with my guitar plugged into the Normal channel with all tone knobs set to zero, there is no sound/volume produced... not til you roll up the controls a little bit, then it comes in... Is this normal, and if so, why does this occur... Also, I'm curious about "channel jumping", and how that works and what the best measure is to dial in a sound using that method... Perhaps this would be a good video idea to those of us out here wanting to experiment a little without digging into the chasis of our amps and permanently changing things... simple "mods" we can try for chasing alternate tones as players. I've played for 25 years, but this is my first "vintage" Fender amp, and I am still a bit ignorant regarding the quirks of the circuit, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Many Thanks, Chris

This video was too long

[@nathkrupa3463]

Funny

[@alexcorona]

Can’t understand squirrel language

L.O.L 🤣😂😂😂

[@cromag141]

A little too much solder smoke or ...puff puff pass

[@nathkrupa3463]

No understand 😅 funny

[@RadioWhisperer]

To be honest the audio was unintelligible to me, so the content was lost for me. Tried slowing the playback but all i got was a slow Alvin. I'd love to see what the trick you're trying to convey, but Alvin is just beyond my hearing ability.. Thank you for trying though.

[@RadioTom103]

After unsoldering the wire connections, use a Dremel (or similar) tool to cut or grind away the tabs that are soldered to the chassis.

[@RadioWhisperer]

@@RadioTom103 Ah, very good, thanks for that Tom, 73 and good DX

[@billbaxter2914]

You’ve lost it.
