I came across a '69 K100 8 on Craigslist. YA! My first amp in junior high. It works OK for it's age, the only thing I've found so far is a volume drop when the Trem-Vib (which works) is turned on and when the intensity is turned to 5 o'clock there's more treble. The other thing is when the normal channel is dimed it distorts horribly. A wretched, garbled robot death noise from hell. I'm planning on changing out a lot of capacitors and I've done cap jobs on tube amps... why so many electrolytic caps? I've never seen anything like it. At least it looks fairly easy to work on. Any tips, suggestions or advice on this amp much appreciated.
