Before shot:

After new rectifier socket, PT, some resistors, & caps: Use Mundorf cap in one position. Mostly setup back to 5F1 circuit

MOST awesome vibrato with need Sprague caps and real TFK ECC83 (came with amp) driven circuit: Very warm, slow overdrive SE amp tone.

Yeah. It's a pretty clean 1966. One other note... that you prolly already know. If you are going to put in a three-prong outlet wiring. Be sure that the black line goes to the fuse (OEM has white going to fuse). And new white line goes to switch.

Deep six the 0.047mfd/600VDC death cap. And I ground green line to the PT's screw.
