Maybe worth watching. I have a feeling it has a dead input tube. Or bad B+ connection (wiring or popped resistor). These things are pretty easy to fix. Just an FYI...

JOC, how many times have you seen back panels miss-aligned on Fender amps? A clue to the owner, I would think.

Yep....I guess they think it protects the tubes better that way. :lol:

These are undoubtedly the same types of cretins who, having removed a pristine JBL D- or K-series loudspeaker from a cab in order to sell it on Ebay, feel compelled to stick their finger into the aluminum center cap like a moron, then describe the resultant-and-needless damage in their listing as being of no consequence when they haven't got a goddamm fooking clue what that aluminum dome does or how it accomplishes it.

TOTALLY BRAINLESS MISCREANTS!

:roll:

As much as I like to see what I'm buying,especially on ePay,I hate seeing something nice taken completely apart to show what has no bearing on original condition like speakers,when the codes will suffice...like Arjay said,they will do more damage when they have no clue,just trying to show a speaker that hasn't been reconed...but will then need to be because of their innate ability to screw something up.
Arjay does the same thing as I do,when he does remove something in it's original position,every screw and nut and bolt is taken note of and put back in the same place it was removed from...has it been there since the '50s/'60s? sometimes you can tell sometimes not,but I keep whatever that thing called mojo is as intact as I can.

Arjay puts the "A" into anal-retentive.

Hey, I've been called a "genius" and a "jerk-off" by the same person.

(in the same sentence!)
