But in Europe either they don't exist or they cost upwards of 800 bucks in general.

This one just went for £230....... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....m=260214710866&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=016

Thanks dudes. I did my "repair" last night by popping in a spare 12ax7. Now the tremolo works nice and strong! I just love how the GC guys say that it needed a footswitch or new "power caps". HAHAHAH!

I knew to try a tube and bust their balls on price.

cathode resistor in power section has been replaced.

Re: The neighbors have been complaining. Here's what I had to do.

Great score. I can't believe how clean the cab, faceplate & grill cloth look

cathode resistor in power section has been replaced.

Yep. Looks like the right value though (s/b yellow/viotet/brown bands and I can only see the first two). Also s/b 1 watt rating or more, and it looks like that's covered too based on size. Probably quieter with a metal film resistor there anyway.

That cathode bypass cap in the middle (white) looks like it's deteriorating too, but it is 35 years old after all! Might want to replace it before it decides to go "Pop!"
