I just saved a Frankie from a junk heap somewhere and I'm in need of info to somewhat restore it. This is what I do know, its a model 695PA, it had 6 power transistors mounted on the back panel which are missing, there is 3 more 1/8" holes on the back where something was mounted and a 1" hole where maybe a 110 volt outlet would be mounted. I dont see a driver board like the B series amps have mounted to the back. Theres a 2" X 5" board, with the reverb wires soldered in, mounted to the bottom on one end of the chassis. Theres another board mounted on the bottom of the chassis just behind the the front panel. All the knobs, fuses and power switch are present and look to be original and conected. There are 2 Mallory electrolytic capacitors (1=50v and the other 75v. along side mounted to the bottom of the chassis is a plate with looks to be 4 diodes. Theres a red and a gray wire twisted together coming from the curcuit board along the front panel laying loose unconected. Theres a gray wire coming from the side board with the reverb wires also loose and unconected. Where do we start? Thanks Steve
