smurph1 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 So I've got this ancient beat up 59 Gibsonette amp that I dearly Love!! About 12w thru a 10 inch Jensen.. Just volume and tone controls A tech friend of mine sold me some blackplate RCA 12ax7s for it and some other old tubes for the power section..I don't really remember what they are, Sylvanias maybe? But anyway he says "As old as this thing is, the caps are proabably leaking on it.." So he goes to an electronics store and gets the caps for it..I stopped in this morning and he showed em to me..Then he pulled the back off and Lo and behold, brand new caps!! I forgot that I had it re-capped after I bought it..(Senior Moment..) DOH!! Sounds killer with those NOS tubes though..
smurph1 Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 I've got one in Photobucket..i'll try to move it here..

smurph1 Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 I tried to talk Will out of his Goldtop with P-90s, but no luck..I don't blame him though, it's a beauty..On the plus side I will be soon taking delivery of his VWB 150 sometime next week,,
DetroitBlues Posted October 10, 2012 Posted October 10, 2012 That is truly a thing of beauty... I tend to think Stiener's 137 is the best looking one out there.....with a Pickguard!
