Title: Traynor Bassmate yba-2a amp porn
Post by: TubeGeek on June 18, 2011, 06:30:47 pm
Had this amp come in for a service job this week.  Nice little amp.  I thought I'd share some more amp porn.

Replaced electrolytics and installed new 6v6's in the amp. Also rewired the ac power cord. I kept the original Mallory multi-cap in the chassis.  Figured I could just solder the new caps in place and leave the old one in.

Classic clean Traynor layout. I've worked on a lot of old Traynors and they are nice to work on.
I always dump the cap can and install the new caps on the board just the way you did.  Nice job!

Yeah it kind of bugged me too but it was there when it came to me so I left it there.

Yeah these are nice amps. Since I moved to Canada and started accepting amp work I have been seeing more and more of these amps come in.  I like working on them just as much as Fender's.  I think they are very much like Fender's of the same era only Canadianized.

Nice amp. I have a chance to get another YSR1 Custom reverb. I may grab it
