Hello all!

I have just arrived home with a new (to me) black '72 Charger.
(Now if I can just get the car to match.)

I bought it for $90US, down from the $100 he was askin'.
Despite the battle scars to the T&R and the front fabric, it's in decent shape. It will actually produce a decent sound. None of the BMT knobs make any difference to the tone at all, the brightness pullout makes a little. There was a pronounced hum at almost all volume levels at the guys house, but next to none at mine, so I see some new caps in its future. I've only been playing the bass for 3 months, but I've done electronics for almost as long as this amp has been around. Smile

Before I dive in, does anyone have any tricks, hints or places to start?

Thanks,

Michael <Whose company has accounts with Mouser, Digikey AND Newark>
