Re: redoing an amp
I'd say just hit all the pots and jacks with a little DeOxIt and see what ya got. A cap job on a Marshall should last 15 years minimum so I would cross that off your list. Check your bias...a good cleaning and bias touch up are all that most amps like that need.Now operating part time: Glassman Tube Amps...repairs, rebuilds, restorations & modifications of tube equipment.
