A Guitar And Gear Support Forum

Got this little amp from Goodwill. Plugged it in, and terrible, banging static and hum from input jack. Suspecting a bad solder joint, I opened it up.

Inside was a tiny spring reverb, that had come unmoored from its sticky tape spot on the chassis. Upon further inspection--yeah, one solder joint was cold. I re-flowed the solder in several places for good measure, and sure enough, that was the fix.

Here are some before and after shots, starting with after.

A little careful detective work pays off again. Nice!

Goodwill has been very very good to me .There was a pickup only depot a few miles from me so you can imagine the gear now in every corner .
Amp are my weakness i would buy them by the pound, a Marshall VS 200 Bi Chorus combo has to be 70lbs -not in pic .
Most cleaned up to good , some needed jacks , pots ,solder..
And not just amps & the odd guitar, but Dayaks too.

Good scores and nice that you could repair it! HNAD!

Just an update on this. I replaced the 2 prong cable with a grounded cable, and now this amp is pretty much dead quiet.
