Hi Blues, I don't have first hand experience with this kit, but a couple of things to consider. You'll be working on a printed circuit board, which may require some disassembly inorder to get at the solder points and components. You'll need to be very careful not to overheat the work and you'll need a good soldering iron(700 degree 40watt). Do you know how to discharge the filter caps? I would open up the chassis and take a look at what it is going to take to do the job. How accessible are the pots and jacks, are they chassis or board mounted( I haven't worked on this amp)? I've only tried one of their mod kits and that was for a '68 Bassman. The instructions and components are fine. Just wish they would show the layout on their site, so you know what you're getting into. Good Luck ! ART
