I have no clue what light your talking about......whatever you do, don't go towards it. lol
Well, I just followed the directions on the can. Apparently it left a film on the contacts that blocked the signal. Now I know how to clean the other amp jacks. ....thank you.
I live in Marshalltown, come on over........you'll save me a bunch on shipping charges. Just think how boring your life has been up until I joined this site. At least I keep you on your toes with my daily inquiries. Just think, maybe someday I'll know just as much as you do about this stuff.......doubtful, but I do have an inquisitive mind. Wait until we start in on that 400 stereo amp that doesn't work. Then we'll see just how good you are........
All kidding aside, you and the rest of the guys on this site are the best in my book. I appreciate all the help that I have gotten. Without it, I probably wouldn't have gotten into Kustom equipment like I now have. I know that no matter what problem I run into, that you, Pleat, ChicagoBill and the rest will walk me thru it. I trust what you guys tell me to be right. And to think that I was strongly considering going the Vox route instead of Kustom. I know that I have made the right choice..........THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well if you are talking about the Thomas Organ Vox amps from the 60s, then I can understand your dilemma. The Kustoms are better made, but I still love that Vox grill cloth.

Ah yes, the Voxmobile. George Barris designed it and built it I think. Vox would send the car around to different car and teen shows and Paul Revere used it a lot on the Where the action is show. I think that some guy in Colorado owns it now.
I own a couple of the smaller ones. They all need the filter and electrolytic caps replaced. They are a nightmare of wires inside the preamp boxes. But they do sound good. Most of the cabinets were made from particle board and didn't hold up very well. They did use a lot of Celestion speakers in the early big amps. Those speakers alone are worth a lot of money.
I remember seeing Iron Butterfly open for Jefferson Airplane back in the day. All Super Beatle amps and a Vox Continental organ too. Jorma K from Airplane used a Beatle amp as well.

The 7 year old son of a friend of mine would get driven to school due to his dad driving right by the location on his way to work and the fact that his son was the first one picked up if he took the bus and as such would have to get up one half hour earlier, so this was a win win as Mom, Dad and son could grab a extra half hours sack time!
Like all seven year old`s Jack did not really like going to school and soon figured out that if he mis placed his dads car keys he would spend an average of another 10 minutes at home while his Dad went nuts looking for the keys! LoL!!!
