Odd discovery inside a 43 year old Fender amp




1972 Fender Vibro Champ amp. It came to my shop not working. Screen resistor was burned in two, power tube had shorted out. Fixed it fairly quickly.

When testing it, I heard a loud crackle on bass notes. Look at pin 8 of that 12AX7 socket. It had never seen solder!

I asked the customer about it. His reply: Oh yeah, it's always done that. I fixed that, too.
