I have a Super Six amp I bought used in 1978 and a few yrs ago it started making popping and cracking noise as it gets hotter. Had it checked out once but wasted my money. Does that sound like a power tube "leaking"? Any one know of a good service shop in Louisville, KY?

Definitely sounds like a bad tube. If you have some replacement tubes try swapping them one at a time until you find the culprit.

This place here in Louisville http://www.soundnmusic.com/ should service your amp.

If has never been recapped, it's seriously overdue. It's more than likely where the noise is coming from.
