1967 Fender Bandmaster: FINALLY.....A Cooperative Patient

After a long run of nightmarish repair challenges, I finally encounter an amp that responds well to my efforts: a beautiful, completely original 1967 Fender Bandmaster. After routine replacement of electrolytic caps and several carbon comp resistors, rewiring of the primary circuit, tremolo and bias supply tune ups, and output tube biasing, it sounds like a million bucks. No previous botching, continuous disasters, failing tubes and transformers, inexplicable hums and crackles, smoke or explosions......it simply emerges from surgery in perfect shape, ready for many more years of service to its lucky owner.

In addition, we will visit Jack and KC during their "cat naps", and take a ride in a 1934 Ford pickup with newly installed tunnel ram and dual Holley carbs.
