Thanks for the encouragement. I have done quite a bit of work on tube amps. I took electronics way back in the day when we studied tubes (transistors were still unfamiliar to my teacher). I have a good soldering iron but I have a very basic (ie. cheap) Radio Shack analog meter that I bought almost 30 years ago. I should probably upgrade my meter regardless of what I decide to do with this project. Since this is not a critical project, I may just try to tackle it my self. I have already had it sitting in my "to do" pile for a few years now along with a 1954 Fender Deluxe, a 1955 White Higher Fidelity amp, and an early 1970's Sound City 120 head. I just need to decide if I want to spend the time and effort to fix this amp as opposed to spending the same time and effort on creating my music and art (I paint as well). Thanks again for your support. I will keep in touch.
