  • The amp chassis is the Electro-luminescent one from around 1967.

    The speaker is a mid-late 1960's JBL D-140.

    The dolly and the grille appear to be original.

    The cabinet is a non-flip top with no Tolex on it.

    I don't know if the cabinet is an original ampeg or if he had someone make it.

    It needs power supply caps and pretty much every electrolytic cap changed.

    I'm debating on whether to change those or leave it.

    Not sure if changing the caps will affect the value.

    I suppose it would come down to where the greater market exists: 1. collectors, 2. players.  The collector might prefer everything original; the player would much prefer a working (and reliable) amp.

    Really though, wouldn't cap replacement be viewed by either as "maintenance?"  Who could expect the original caps to last in perpetuity?

    True, caps have a date code stamped on them. They last only a certain amount of years before they dry up.

    I replaced all the caps in a vintage piece of gear once, and it made all the difference.

    This thing pops, sizzles and crackles and hums, which is exactly what happens when both the P/S caps go bad (hum) and the tone circuit goes (circuit crackles and sizzles)

    Jeff, save a couple guitars brother. ..... We can record together! 

    Seems like I can't PM you for some reason....  Anyhow, very interested in this one - but I have a couple of questions:  What year?  What cosmetic condition - any bumps, bruises or scratches I should know about?

    I am sorry I can't get PMs.  Shoot me an email over to jeffrush@charter.net.  I can't see which one you're asking about, btw.

    On second thought, let's not go to Camelot. It is a silly place.
