Remember kids change the oil in your fender amps every 3000 miles
Ha!
Brad, release the videos when you can no need to wait. Everyone knows it's a shit show to get what you need. It's just the way the world seems to work now. It's nice to see your work, so keep em coming.
You made the right choice Brad 😉. Don’t worry about releasing your videos a bit late, we won’t miss anything !
It amazes me, the lengths you regularly go to to make equipment look nice rather than just fix the fault. Most wouldn't be anywhere as thorough as you. You seem to turn everything into a fully blown restoration project.
The problem is that all of these things I'm addressing are potential future problems.
Customers get frustrated with other techs that only fix one thing and put the blinkers on with everything else, often they don't even bother going back after paying for a repair and having issues a month or two later. Those techs have lost that customer forever after that. Amplifiers are systems that require a holistic approach for longevity, particularly when they have been neglected for an extended period.
Come for the choobs, stay for the shazzys! Thanks Brad- the only youtube amp tech that doesn't make me cringe when picking up a guitar.
Thank so much, mate!
I need to unrustify my playing for sure, though!
Sometimes its easier to start fresh. At least you know what you got is good
This will be a great amp and ready for another 40 years when you are done man. Glad you have it to save another one!!
Oil City!! Just like the preview picture - Gut, clean & reload!!
Each time I watch you rebuild a Fender amp, I become more and more convinced that I need a "Restored by Brad's Guitar Garage" Bassman!
wow that will need a full rebuild for sure
OMG, Brad! What a mess! This was either a labour of love on your part (which I fully respect) or the owner loved his amp enough to pay 2.75 shitloads of money for his baby (which I also fully respect).
Put out your videos when you want Brad!
Madness.. but great madness.
Wharever the cost of this repair ends up being, the owner is getting a BARGAIN! Thank you a thousand times is all this person should say.
Love your approach mate...The present and future me thank you. 🥃
Compared to this gooey mess, that Fender Super Two Reverb you're working on must seem like a dream.
I have seen cleaner public waste bins. I mainly do guitars, and charge extra for the filth removal service, extra-extra if it is something I have cleaned before.
That amp looks like someone sprayed WD40 instead of contact cleaner all over it trying to solve a bad contact issue.
Oh man... this is why I spend the coin to buy a 60s amp. Every 70s amp I looked at was a melted greasy trainwreck like this one. You're a real trooper to do a rebuild on this. Leo would be proud of you!
Good morning Brad,I apologise but I'll have watch it as a re- run,still at work till 7. Have a pleasant day and think happy thoughts... even if customers give you the sh##s
😂 Snipity doo dah!
I may have said that at some point.
So that is where the tone fluid went! Also, called shot at 3:34
Teflon jacketed wire is the best. If you touch it with a typical 750 F soldering iron it WILL NOT MELT. It is expensive and you need to strip it with hot strippers because Teflon is tough the strip with regular strippers. In Aerospace and Defense all we use if Teflon wire and we normally use just white. With tube amps there are not a lot bundles so a white Teflon is easy to wire. PVC jacketed wire is junk and I can't believe they use it in tube amps these days.
Oh puke! WTF did that previous 'tech' think they'd achieve spraying that shit everywhere? And the burnt wires: classy work, right there.
I say replace the stuff that needs replacing. Leo designed it that way anyway. Well the early ones anyway. If it was pristine then maybe not, but with the panel cancer, all the cleanup necessary, burnt wires, possibly intermittent connections going on, already some replaced parts…makes sense to me to swap some stuff out.
Diggers Wax and Grease Remover works so much better than isopropyl alcohol, evaporates the same way too
What's it based on, mate?
@@BradsGuitarGarage just like prepsol, available from Bunnings. But a lot less elbow grease involved. I've used just about everything but the diggers stuff works the best, from flux residue etc to all the year old muck left behind. and if you need to clean up paint jobs between coats, can use it too
Wow that's pretty brutal 😳
LOVE your content, any order and length! Anyone with criticism, f*ck em! ;)
FUN TIMES HEEEHHH!!!! (jeezz....)
I think they coated everything in lard to make the sound of the amp more tasty.
Fatten up the tone ya rekn mate?
I reckon, mate!
Have you noticed that Element 14 which used to have so much stock on 1-3 days is now 5-8 days on almost everything?
seems there's a market for well made prepopulated princeton and deluxe reverb replacement boards 🤓
At what point do you toss the innards and rebuild from new parts, well find out in the next video - arrggh. How frustrating parts take that long to get to you. Best wishes. ✅
Is that goo Inox?
At this point, I’d give anything to know what actually happened to this amp and what the green goo is.
I would think the amp would smell when it running it would have stuck the first time it was fired up after getting that shit emptied inside 🤮 interesting video👍👍
Nice! Now you can bake the living crap out of the fiberboards to get that hateful wax and goo out of them. Should be good for another 4 decades after you're done.
