Thanks for the info guys. :dbtu: I'm gonna take a look at those spring suspensions and see what I find.

I took it apart and cleaned the pots, and it made a big difference. Although, it seems that the reverb won't work. It could be anything, but I have a feeling it needs rewired, or maybe the spring reverb is damaged, I'm not sure. The "Speed" knob adds some tremolo but I don't notice any difference from the "Depth" or "Reverb" knobs. I took a few pictures while I had it opened up, but I guess I don't really know what to look for. Sorry.  xP










I believe these are the power transistors? There's a third one, but none of them are very legible. It looks like they're made by RCA and serial ends in "051" maybe?

It works, but I think one or more of the volume pots might be going bad. It's very scratchy when I turn it and it jumps up suddenly and gets feedback if I'm not careful with it. I'm going to take it apart, clean it up a bit, and get those pictures. Afterwards I could post some clips. Thanks for the replies!

Hello everyone,
Just recently joined the board mainly because I haven't been able to find any information on a Powersonic amp I have. The only info I've been able to gather comes from a 2008 post from this board: http://www.ssguitar.com/index.php?topic=928.msg5902#msg5902. There weren't any pictures in that post so I decided to take some.


Supposedly some had a lightning bolt symbol that would light up in the grill, but as far as i know this one doesn't have one.
















I have no idea if the insides are all original.

If anyone knows anything about these amps I would love to hear it. Either way, I figured the pictures might be of use to someone. Thanks for taking a look!
