hey thanks guys. I need to turn this around in kind of a hurry, so mailing out the chassis is not really an option this time. I dropped it off to a shop yesterday and while testing the reverb it was acting a bit differently than at my apartment. It seemed to only cause trouble when the tank was plug...

I tried unplugging the tank and removing the tubes, the hum is still there if the reverb control is on and it gets worse if you turn the reverb up.

hello, my deluxe reverb has developed a nasty hum which seems to be directly related to the reverb effect. the hum seems to vary in intensity depending on the location of the amp, but when i switch the reverb off the hum always goes away. is this an indication that the tube for the reverb effect is ...

Still available.

Still available.

These are the alnico "coffee can" speakers. HEAVY and LOUD! People say these 12" EV's sound like the JBL 120 series, but with more bass characteristics. Huge magnets, original cones, paper dustcaps. Buyer pays $200 for the pair plus shipping. Local pickup preferred. BD Pics available ...

Would prefer local pickup in SF Bay area. Please email with any leads. Thanks.

Went to lunch today and what do I find but Bobby Black playing with this Hawaiian outfit right outside my building. These summer concerts are way cool, and Bobby is still sounding great playing a S10 non-pedal console.

What's to decide? It's a Martin N20, Willie's awesome, and my dad can beat up your dad.

I need to refoam this anvil case I scavenged off the street to fit my wurly ep. Can you buy foam separately from Pelican made to order?

Bob, where did you order your foam from?

I have an old 00-18G nylon martin. Sounds good to me. To each his own regarding what's good tone. I think Baldwin's Prismatone pickup does better than most modern piezos.

Poking around for a reasonably priced Echoplex or Roland Space Echo. Drop me a line if you have one available. Thanks.

Thanks for all the help, guys. I ended up taking my little Fender Bronco to Eric Miller of euthymia electronics in alameda. Called him on a Sat afternoon and had the amp back and sounding great a few hours later.

Yep. Sweet Home went sour, so I manifested a new destiny out west. Thanks for welcome Dave and for the tip, Michael. That place in Fresno seems like just what I'm looking for, although 3 hours is a long way to drive for a checkup. I haven't yet had a chance to cross the bay over to berkeley, has any...

Hey guys,
I know this is probably in the archives somewhere but after 20 minutes of searching I got lazy and gave up. Relocated to the bay area recently and need advice on a good fender tube amp tech. Thanks a lot.

Hey TQ,
Isn't a deluxe about the same size as your session? Hope its treating you alright.

Putting some hours into tuning my wurlitzer 200 electric piano and noticed a few rips in the bass speaker. The 200 has a chassis-mounted design for the speakers and replacements are extremely scarce. Does anyone know of a good repair joing near San Francisco or otherwise who can do the recone job? T...

You're quite welcome, Gary. Nice quality product you've got there. And quality service too.

Congrats on your new guitar, Loren. <font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Brian Davis on 22 October 2005 at 02:05 AM.]</p></FONT>

Hey all, Just wanted to update everybody I spoke to Gary again last week and he seems to be getting along better these days. If anyone is looking for a nice D-10 Rains, I think that's the one he has up on the block. Anyway, hoping to have things settled with Gary soon and back to business as usual w...

Hey Gary,
I didn't get that email. Can you resend? Thanks.

BD

Hey Gary,
Sent you an email about a cover for my Emmons. Let me know if you didn't get it.

Thanks,
BD

guys, I got a chance to see these parts in person and let me tell you they are absolutely impeccable. Just beautiful stuff, John. Please keep up the good work.

This guitar is sold. Donation on the way.

Guys, I just talked to Gary and it's clear that he wants to make things right with everybody. I'm happy to hear he's doing better and his luck is turning around. Jim Marconi, you are a great friend for helping him through this difficult time. I know some guys are upset with Gary right now, but don't...
