Thanks for the link, DJV. I'm going to try a set of these and see if this fixes my rattling issue.

That would be good - - I had heard something about rubber o-ring type shock absorbers?


I got these for the EL84s and 12AX7s in my Supro Sahara and it cured the tube rattle.

Mike,
There's lots of people selling those same type of tube dampers. They do work in many cases. When I had my HRDlx, I had some from Herbie's Audio. A lot more money and pretty fancy too, and they also worked fine. :wink:

By the way, there is no T47 bulb but still a LED behind the jehwel; Led has a longer lifetime.

Nonsense, supro.

All BJr's look better in tweed......even if they're only sitting on an amp tech's bench awaiting repair.

Sorry about the splash. Since Fender got preorders for tweed, blond and texas red pro junior iii versions, I´ve been saving for it to come, and as many G.A.S freaks many nights outsleeped on that. Then Fender simply "removes" the tags for preorder on the Pro Jr Tweed and remains only the black version. Why Fender has to fool around with the customers ? I just demand some more respect for those who loves fender for what it is, really don´t care for the present time employees that must think they own the world just for working on Fender. Fender really need to remember its old times and difficulties that they´ve passed on, and look at those faifull customers that stays with them till today. I just demand more respect and less marketing games.

Actually, I'd be more concerned about what's inside the amp than what's covering the outside. That's just my professional opinion. :wink: Yeah I know Jeff Beck uses them from time to time, but he can also make a 3 watt Pignose sound great. I'd take a SF Champ over a Pro Jr any day. Fenders sound was never built around EL84 power tubes. I'd keeep saving and get either a Princeton or a DRRI.
