Service on old tweed amp


Pieman

Recommended Posts

I have a mid-50's Gibson GA-6 amp, akin to the Fender wide-panel 5C3 amps.    I bought it after 9/11 as a rebuilt basket case.  Time for general servicing.   Dr Z is located nearby and I may call him for a recommended amp technician.  But, does anybody on the board know a good tweed-era technician?  Somebody recommended putting a filter choke on the microphone channel. Thanks.  Happy Thanksgiving.

I recapped a mid '60s Kalamazoo Model 1 in 2017. That was/is a simple single ended thing and hard to screw up. The bench work was fun because it wasn't too complicated once you find a good iron, space and patience.Thinking about tackling my Musicmaster Bass amp next. 

Also, don't inhale solder smoke.

Been watching Uncle Doug this week to further my education. Thinking I might try a simple build myself this winter 

Thanks .  He has a Facebook page.   I'll ask my daughter to help me reach him by email as I never signed up for FB.
