Do you think the 4.7UF caps need to be polarized? The ones you used to replace the originals don't appear to be, yet the originals looked like they were... Radial Electrolytic Capacitor, 4.7uF, 50V, 105 C

Thanks. That's good to know! (This is in reference to the odd D# tone board from the Vox Jaguar that is pristine in the video). I've since sold both units, and the legs that go with the units. Age has set in!....so they had to go!

Yes, I used a 59' Hardtail Strat into a 64' Vibrolux Reverb, miked with a Unidyn III SM57 into an Ampex MX10. the output back into another line input on a second MX10. All recorded on an Otari 1" MX7800 8 track. Running at 15 ips. These were lean times. We didn't have much in the way of equipment. But the Otari made everything sound huge. MX10's also used for some of the drums.

I hope the repair went well Tony. I also had all the legs and foot pedal too. I sold it recently....time to mentally move on for me.

@The Knaves thanks for the response. The repair went perfectly, and it sounds perfect. So far I haven't sold it but I hope soon.

Andy, I feel your pain. The birds nest is a disaster of design. However, to do more than that would be too much for me. As I age, time has become very important to me! But I recently finished rebuilding a EA-50T mid 60's pacemaker. Once I put a Celestion G10 alnico speaker in it it became a different amp! This is a wonderful upgrade for these crappy, but fun, amps. Mid 60's epi's are fun, because I have no problem nor guilt rebuilding them....can't do that to a Fender! You may notice that I use some plastic zip ties to tidy things up a bit...but it's still spaghetti !

I spent abt 6 weeks making the Jaguar. My dad was certainly supportive, he made his own Crystal radio in about 1922.

@@kilcar Thats very cool Patrick. Heathkit is from my home state of Michigan is my favorite vintage tube audio brand.

Hello, I live in Southern Spain.

Yes, I was surprised too! Too bad I didn't realize 30 years ago when I used to record a lot. I think the "sintered" metal grill threw me off. But agree better response than the 609 without the sharp edge of the 57 (that works well for overdrive lead).

I agree with you on 57 for lead, and D1000e for 12 string/rhythm. Maybe I will do the M vs B mode on the D1000E in the near future.

I live in Europe, and am looking for them myself. If I find a source I'll let you know. They don't have "thrift stores" here like in the States....nor do they have garage sales.

The Knaves thank you, I appreciate that! 😀 👍

@@johnupdate John, alot of people replace the socket on the back of keyboard with a computer style and the matching cords are everywhere, good luck.

I think the cords are extremely difficult to source. You may have better luck in a thrift store looking for old appliances which to my memory may have the same....such as an Electrolux vacuum. New plugs are grounded, unlike this one. but it's easy to bypass the chord and just hook up a different or. place a 3 wire receiver in it...with a small, non reversible cut. In our history of using them...they did not break. Only when we jumped on them....and we did. the corners typically need re-gluing. There are the germanium transistors which are very difficult, but not impossible, to source if needed. Here is a list of parts I compiled. Caps 1000uf 15 V Axial (original Ducati brand) Under switch DUAL 1000uf 25 V Axial (Ducati) - Power supply box SFT 351 Germanium transistor. 78 Total on 12 Tone boards and 1 generator board AF116 Bass Divider Transistor. 1 ( Can replace per the web with AC125 Germ Transistor. )

In reality they don't break frequently. sometimes you have to jiggle the individual tone cards. I recommend changing all the electrolytic capacitors as I have done. But I posted a blurb once on fixing a modern Korg Keyboard....what a disaster. I love the old stuff, because it is fixable. That being said, I also have the Nord version which sounds awesome, and has touch sensitivity and adequate volume. The Vox has no dynamics at its output. There is no sensitivity in the keys...it's on or off. These Vox's have low output....both of mine, and it's well known. Thus, they work great through a clean preamp such as an EP-1 or one of the other uncolored preamps pedals....thus having volume.
