What no asnwers yet?? It's been 5 minutes at least.
Just kidding..happy to be here
I really want to get this amp working again but not SPENDING $300  to achieve that.
These are really cool for recording.
The main guitar is  a custom Silvertone 12 string from the 60's built by Dan Armstrong for Caroll Music [when he had a shop in NYC]
Been using smaller and smaller amps in the studio with big results.
Check out the solo at 2:36 which was Gibson Les Paul Junior amp with vintagte big box Rat pedal

You're sure the OT is bad?
 
Nice tone on the solo

Thanks for the info I took it to a tech a while back who told me that it was the output...but I'm going to bring it to my new tech to double check.

The solo was recorded with a Sennheiser MD409 mic into a custom Neve Preamp into Ashly sc50 compressor.
