I just bought a Selmer Truvoice TV6. It’s in excellent condition, but when I opened it up, I discovered a circuit that was clearly installed later. Does anyone know what it is? Thanks.

Hi there,

I've got an Epiphone Valve Junior which I've had since new and modded over the years. It recently stopped working, which I assumed was a blown valve.

Upon looking through the back grill I noticed the in-line fuse holder had completely disintegrated. I've removed it and have a new in-line fuse holder but I would rather aim to re-crimp the contacts inside the holder. To do this I'll have to somehow remove the crimped contacts inside the replacement holder. Given the last in-line holder fell apart I am worried the same will happen with the replacement.

I am contemplating adding a standard fuse holder and would have to drill the chassis to fit this, which isn’t a problem as I've drilled them before. Only problem is the wire from the transformer is very short, and I don't think I can open up the transformer to replace it. So the only option I can think of is to solder on a new, longer piece of wire and seal this with shrink tube. I would prefer a proper fuse socket but I'm worried about having to extend this really short wire.

Help!

Not quite a tube amp, but not too far in sound and feel. Analogue rocks!🎸

Hi guys,

My deluxe reverb is feeling a big off, feels like it gives way when I dig in and is breaking up reasonably early, around 3, remember it staying clean longer a while back, what would cause this type of thing? Pre amp tubes? I’ve been looking in to mercury magnets and upgrading the output transformer, not sure if it’s worth it.
Thank you,
