Hey Everybody,
Just picked up a Gold tuck n' roll Frankenstein. Love it! Everything turns on but it is super noisy. Reverb is also a no go, or very faint sounding. So my plan is to recap and clean (it is FILTHY inside!), starting first with the filter caps. I've got matches for everything but the death cap.
As well, there's a 6" long Accutronics 3 spring reverb, which seems very small for such a large head. And the Molex connectors inside it are newish looking.
QUESTIONS:
1. Will 7500MFD be a suitable replacement for 4500MFD (Voltage matches)?
2. What is a suitable replacement for the reverb tank? I'd really like to have that ghostly reverb that CCR had.
I'd appreciate any advice coming my way.
Cheers--Steve
