[@shazam6274]

Tip from a guy who was doing this in the 60s & 70s: See those white capacitors (at around 15:20) ? Those happened to be Mallory but were often from GE, who came up with the idea of molding them in nylon (which GE plastics just happened to make). These are a problem, since nylon is hygroscopic (absorbs moisture). Guaranteed that they are changed in value and will eventually fail. They were such a bad idea the GE quit making capacitors like this altogether, as did Mallory. Any time you see them, replace 'em! The only reason they lasted longer in guitar amplifiers, is because they have an oven underneath to dry out the moisture (i.e. the tubes heat up the entire amplifier from underneath!) Nice job in modifying and adjusting the Bias. Most were set too high, which caused more power to be used and shortened the useful life of the output tubes (and even some of the cheaper transformers).

I had that exact amp from '86 to '93, when I scored an early Vibro-King in perfect original, still working, (no hum on orig caps) on a pizza delivery for $600! I used to go to the Hollywood guitar shops in the 80's and buy their old Fender amp chassis' (mostly) to learn amp repair. They'd sell me brown face and black pface for $30-40. There was no Groove Tube amp bible, just RCA manuals and I had a set of four 1950 US Army Electronic study manuals. Being handy, I was able revive nearly every amp. A great solid state amp to play electric or acoustic guitar through is the FET transistor 1976 Ampeg G110 W/ REVERB and TREMOLO. The DeArmond D240 wire wound + piezo acoustic hole pickups are worth their weight in gold!

[@billdomitilli8125]

I'm a life-long Technician, now retired 8 years. Good work in general. Myself, I would want to look with a scope as well as a meter to assure myself that DC is DC, and there's no significant AC component. My mantra has always been: "A good Technician always starts at the Power Supply". Also, I'd clean the flux off of every solder joint to make sure it doesn't keep working over time; its job is done. Keep up the good work! Cheers, --bd

[@rasjase1]

Hey there, I have a suggestion for you. I've been watching through your videos and I've noticed you tend to use your drill for installing and removing screws in amps. Dewalt makes a gyroscopic powered screwdriver (model DCF680 $89) that folds into a gun shape like the drill or can be used straight like a screwdriver. I've found it to be fantastic for working on amps, especially vintage ones that you really dont want to slip and scratch the chassis. It weighs a fraction of what the drills do, and is small enough to very easily get into tight spaces, especially with the folding feature. Because its gyroscopic the amount you twist your hand controls the power so you can do really slow delicate work like vintage flat head screws, but is still powerful enough to drive a 3 1/2" screw into wood without pilot drilling. I got mine several years ago and I can't imagine not having it for working on amps now. Just thought I'd throw that out there. Thanks for the videos, excellent presentation.

[@FazioElectric]

Thank you so much for the recommendation- I will be looking into that :)

[@goodun2974]

Rasjase1, Ryobi makes a somewhat similar, *hinged* , battery-operated, rechargeable driver/drill screwgun that can be used either straight-on or folded into a pistol-style handle. It's not gyroscopic, but costs less than 30 bucks [edit, it's actually $39.95 at Home Dumpo] if I remember correctly. I haven't tried the DeWalt you mention but we had a gyroscopic Black and Decker driver/ drill at the electronics repair shop I used to work for and I never really cared for it. I prefer a trigger operated driver-drill, but perhaps that's just me, because I've been doing carpentry and construction type work all my life and I have a well-educated trigger-finger!

[@rasjase1]

@@goodun2974 that's sounds cool, especially for the very low price tag. I've tried a few other gyroscopic devices and I understand, a lot of them are pretty unremarkable. This particular 1 however is pretty neat. You can do neat things like take a flat slot screw and fast spin it most of the way in, and then slow it down to snail pace at the end to put the slot orientation exactly like you want it without over tightening or slipping out. Also with delicate things like plastic or aluminum screws or very small ones, you have so much control that it's easy not to mess them up. I've seen them on display at various big box hardware stores, definitely worth checking out. The other big thing is battery life. When I was still working as an electrician I'd use it on a 12 hour shift on literally like hundreds of screws and it would still be around half charged or close to it when I got home.

[@goodun2974]

@@rasjase1 , my larger battery-powered tools are mostly Milwaukee (3 various sized driver drills, a hammer drill, impact driver, mini Sawzall, circular saw,, plunge cutter, and soldering iron), but for disassembling electronics and for small projects around the house I use a small Ryobi pistol-shaped driver drill with 1/4 hex-drive socket and two speeds ---- primarily because it's physically smaller than any of the Milwaukee driver drills. My Ryobi has swappable batteries (the other hinged ones I mentioned earlier have integral batteries). The batteries for the Milwaukee tools are expensive, but awesome!

[@goodun2974]

@@rasjase1 , an update: the Tek4 series of Ryobi tools, including my original fixed-pistol-grip 200/600 RPM driver-drill (with separate, swappable Lithium battery and LED work-illumination) was discontinued (I got mine cheaply nearly a year ago as a closeout). The current-production Ryobi hinged driver-drill ($40 at Home Dumpo) that converts from pistol-grip to a straight handle has a built-in (integral) lithium battery, still two-speed ( 200/600 RPM), but doesn't have the LED'S to illuminate the work area (darn!). However, True Value sells a similar hinged/pistol- grip convertible screwdriver (under their Master Mechanic house brand) with integral lithium battery, fixed 180 RPM speed (adequate for screwing, maybe not as good for drilling), and has not only 4 LED'S to illuminate the work area but an actual LED flashlight built into the butt end of it ---- for the ridiculous price of $25 bucks here on the East Coast!

[@patlaw53]

Just a suggestion. The ground lug on the transformer mounting screw is not necessarily better than a wire soldered to the chassis. However, if you're going to use a lug, you might want to add a second locking nut to make sure the lug is never loose. It's insurance, like the silicone on the caps. Subscribed!

[@matthewf1979]

I’m flabbergasted at the fact KZbin promoted a channel I’d actually be interested in. Even though I know how to fix/restore/build tube amps, it’s nice to see other people doing it. You just might pick up a new trick. I agree with not changing the bypass caps, they only see a few volts and usually go high which gives more gain. You can really screw up and amps “mojo” by shotgunning everything. Pickup yourself some paint gun cleaning brushes from Harbor Freight. They come in a kit, ranging from small to large and they’re perfect for cleaning tube sockets and jacks.

[@FazioElectric]

That's a good suggestion, I will give those brushes a try!

[@goodun2974]

@@FazioElectric , I've never seen a wire-bristle brush small enough to fit inside the contacts of a12AX7 socket, and while nylon-bristle brushes plus a solvent will clean out greasy grime and dust, they are too soft to remove tarnish and corrosion effectively. A tip I learned from an old electronics repairman is to use a piece of round-wound guitar string, size .036 to .039, as a sort of miniature round rasp or file (a phosphor bronze string is nice and hard, works particularly well), and work it back and forth inside the socket contacts, then flush with non-residue solvent; and if need be, retension the contacts with a jeweler's screwdriver or dental pick (as you showed here). If you can find a way to adapt a segment of guitar string to fit into the chuck of a miniature rotary tool, like the smallest Dremel-style tool you can obtain, then cleaning sockets becomes very fast and easy. (I use a Tihoo battery-powered artist's eraser, with a modified chuck arrangement, to spin the guitar string. EDIT: I also use battery-powered erasers with a short segment of fiberglass bristle-brush, or a 4 mm silica impregnated eraser rod inserted, for cleaning and polishing tarnished metal contacts and the backs of pots prior to soldering. Anyone who works on electronics really needs a set of " scratch brushes", especially the glass-bristle brush ---- but I advise you to wear gloves!).

[@goodun2974]

Matt, for some reason the local Harbor Freight doesn't carry paintgun tip-cleaning brushes, but one alternative is to buy dental brushes at the drugstore, the type used to clean around bridges and other dental prostheses. Although as I noted below, nylon brushes are too soft to remove decades of tarnish and corrosion.....

I’m hand wiring one of these, so having footage of what one of these is supposed to look like is fantastic. Really like the explanation of what you’re doing as well.
