Thanks Kagliostro for sharing this. I have recently restored an AC50 and I still own the amp.
I find this very benefical.

Wow, very nice ! Do you have some gutshots ?

I have stopped being surprised at the guitar player who spends $3,000 on the latest boutique amplifier, and plugs in his Mexican Stratocaster strung with light gauge strings through a Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal.

Mehr Licht !

Unfortunately not. The amp is pretty much in its original condition. I have changed
some pots and coupling caps. Tolex is renewed which required quite much effort.
