I'm looking for a tech in the Philadelphia area to work on an old Gibson amp with a field coil speaker. It's looks to be all original but not working, just a loud uncontrollable buzz when powered up.

Know of anyone?

Thanks,
Dave

I would consider shipping it out for repair also. I'm just thinking it might be easier to take it somewhere local.

If you can't find anyone local you may want to consider Skip Simmons in California. People ship amps to him all the time and he specializes in the old stuff. He's worked on various old Gibsons. His rates are reasonable.

You can send it to me if you want. I work on old amps all the time. Here's one I did a while back

I sent you an email.

Can you post a pic of the front of that National Dobro. I want to see how your grill turned out.

Thanks

Dave

Dave Thanks too. Skip has a cool web site.

Actually I only did the electronics. This is how the guy found the amp at a garage sale! I had the speaker re-coned and rebuilt the electronics. All transformers were fine.
