I could go to town having it recovered, replacing the corners etc. but its a vintage amp and I want to keep it looking well used.
1. New strap handle for the top of the amp. The old one has rusted and snapped at one end.
2. New ceramic valve bases for the EL34′s, one has cracked and another is chipped.
3. New valve bases for the ECC83 pre-amp valves. These are actually riveted to the chassis and one in particular has rivets that have worn so that the valve base is now loose.
4. Two new chassis cage nuts and bolts – for some reason the front pair are missing.
5. Impedance selector for speaker output
6. Mains input voltage selector.
Some pictures:
The broken handle – a replacement necessity.
This is one of the two broken EL34 valve bases
The impedance and voltage selection switches – missing the selector plugs. I have temporarily soldered the connectors on the inside of the chassis.
The rivet holding the valve base to the chassis has rusted and is broken. A new valve base is in order.
