Fender Super Reverb - Duct Tape and Happy Thoughts

fender-amp-reverb-tube-repair

As a childhood hero of mine once said, "it's not the years, it's the mileage." And this thing has seen some miles for sure. I rebuilt the crumbling foot switch RCA plugs, replaced the damaged reverb tank, and cleaned the road snot out of every imaginable hiding place. Of the 6 screws that are supposed to hold in the speaker baffle only one remained. Also missing was most of the cabinet hardware. It's tube sockets had been replaced previously with a different size and the original retainers weren't actually retaining anything but air. I installed new spring retainers and while I was in there corrected the dreaded Fender vibrato "tick." Lori and her gals in Whorechata should be good to go for another 100,000 miles or so.
