A Sweet Suprise #2

Unread post by T1nM4n » Tue Jul 05, 2005 7:27 pm

ok so im sure u've seen the other psot about the Casino i found, ne ways i've got another vintage item. i have Fender Pro-Reverb amp. my dad got it for his 18th birthday which woulda been around 1970 ish along with a red Gibson 345. so my main thing is this...the amp doesnt work, when plugged into i get very little sound, i play and ya noise comes out but its not near what it should be, i've been told that the speakers could be blown, any other things it could be and if so is it going to be an arm and a leg to try and fix

If noise comes out of the speakers, it's not likely they're blown. Sounds like the electronics are busted. You'll have to ask around for a good person with both electricity and electronics, preferably with guitar experience.

make sure the power cord is still intact, it could be torn

and the wiring on vintage amps tends to get brittle, so it might need to be replaced altogether
