That's called a hard life on the road with no case and just throw it in the bay of the bus!

I'm sure once you are done with her she will be absolutely beautiful both inside and out. :worthy1:

No way I'm touching that thing... My butchery only goes so far :icon_biggrin:
-
Does it work?
-
agree that electronics shouldn't be touched. don't think new tweed wouldn't degrade value in that condition.

It's God like!

What values are the caps in the TS?

I honestly never opened her up. It was parked at a buds shop...
-
There's a dispute over if the TS caps are really .02's like in the Fender schematic or that Fender actually sent them out with a .1 and .047.

I'll find out for ya Willabe

Thanks. :icon_biggrin:

Thanks. :icon_biggrin:
Willabe, "Mike; This one has two .022uFs and a 250pf with a 56k slope resistor. I have seen a.1 bass cap in these, but rarely and not based on any particular year."

Thanks Mike. :icon_biggrin:
For some reason this question does not seem to be well documented for such a classic amp. :dontknow:
-
That's one of the best relics I've seen. But please don't tell me people are going to start relic-ing amplifiers now? :l2:

Here are two current pics from ebay. Both have .02, .1, and 100K slope.
I didn't look too hard but I never saw one that had the .02, .02, 56K.

There's a picture that tells some serious story. Absolute classic.
-
i would keep the outside as it is. it shows it's age and i like that.
and if the electronics are working properly it's perfect as it is :-)

Oh, definitely. You can tell the orthodontist-buyer shelled out the big bucks for the Custom Shop's Tweed Eaten By Actual Rats up-charge.

100K slope R? That's BF TS. :dontknow:
Fender released their schematic with 2x.02 mid/bass and 250 treb caps with a 56K slope R.

Yep. And they released some amps with .02, .1, and 100K. I've seen several other original pics since I posted those. It would be nice if Mike could pop the back panel and take a couple pics of that eye candy. I still have not seen an amp with the .02, .02, and 56K. Have you?
