PLEASE NOTE: This is not a tech channel, but simply a show-and-tell. It is not designed to give advice and support on vacuum tube amplifiers but to show what I get up to each week in the workshop.
I deliberately keep tech talk to a minimum, or at least to a point where it’s understandable to the casual viewer. There are other channels more suited to that level of detail.
I do not do reviews, either paid or unpaid. My opinions are entirely my own and do not represent those of others.
All comments are welcome but those deemed unhelpful, rude, inappropriate, or unsavoury will be reviewed and possibly censored.

No diagnosis, no fee is a top notch and principled approach. Speaks volumes on your integrity and tip my hat to you
Well done finding that shorted cap on the Laney 👍👍
I think you'll have a blast with that BR-6, Chris. The paraphase driver on top of the field coil speaker should be a bit of a beast...
Maybe try Evapo-Rust on this one, they do a gel version and it leaves a bright surface.
Italians call that color Celeste green. Bianchi bicycles were famous for its use.
As were Bianchi bikes…
A super Reverb with JBL speakers will definitely outweigh a Twin Reverb. I had a brown Vibroverb with 2 qty JBLs and it equalled the weight of a Twin. You'll do just fine on that Super with the proviso that having to replace all the tube sockets if you can't get them clean enough to work without pops and clicks will strongly jack your rehab cost.
You had the probes crossed and touching first time after you cut the cap lol
Blimey you’ve got good eyes…I didn’t even spot that in the edit 😂
Yup, saw it right off!
Saw that too!
Man . I wish you were still able to do courses. I had rift on my bucket list.,one day maybe 🤞
How is the MusicMan going? looking forward to an update (unless I've missed it!) V interested in it as I have a 212 150w version that seems very good at blowing fuses....
holy moly that rust! poor thing, i have one just like this, but much better condition, and spent the last year restoring it, love the sound.
The other blue that I think you were thinking off regarding the gibson was sonic blue which almost looks white in certain light.
YES! Sonic Blue...that's the one :)
I'll be interested how you go about removing the rust on the Super Reverb. Thankfully the inside of the chassis looks to be in good shape. There are products meant to slow down corrosion/oxidation on metal surfaces. I see Loctite and WD40 each sell spray on cans.
That's not dust on the speaker cone, it's mold.
Those JBLs are super rare here in the UK - hope the sound is worth the weight! Couple of questions for you for next weeks Q&A -
1. If you could only play 1 amp for the rest of time, and it has to be a Rift model, what are you going to choose?
Then the same question but if it had to be any other amp that isn't a Rift.
2. Can the PR18 run 6L6s with a rebias or would it need bigger TF?
you will sleep betterwith that little snag sorted on
the laney ,a new page to kick off with tomorrow🤔
Just like Defpom says " it's always the caps."
Beautiful patina...😂
Did "Super Reverbs" use Valve rectifiers or am I thinking of another model?
The 45watters did 👍
My 1969 Super Reverb has a GZ-34. Later schematics called for a 5U4GB.
guitologist or...uncle doug would know what the gibson
combo likely is ???
awesome!
