Sovtek Mig 50 in for some TLC. Good sounding amps on any day!

Fall is here and this 65 Gibson Falcon is all fixed and ready to enjoy. I love old gospel guitar and I tried to channel it a bit with this 66 Teisco. There’s an infinite number of possibilities in the church of good tone. Like loose leaves on t

New YouTube video up on my channel! Here is a rare 200W Marshall in the shop for service. This amp was originally owned by 70’s hard rock band Tin House! We Bring this amp back to life, do a circuit analysis and for sure, take a listen. Majors

Here is a 1979 Park 1214 50 Watt combo in for a overhaul. The amp came in with a complaint of sounding tired and it really really did. I changed the electrolytic caps, new power tubes and did a general servicing. Someone installed a 12AT7 in the phas

Once upon a very magical time, back when guitars and cool cheap amps ruled the night…..offloaded on containers and imported by Gibson, came the Red Bear.

New YouTube video up on my channel! It’s a tall tree in the big forest and I’m proud of it. I go deep into history and talk about so much but my favorite part is discussing a Japanese American hero named Tokyo Rose. Marine radios are a pe

Off the street is this 68 Gibson Medalist 4/10. These are very funky two channel amps, one channel clean and one with reverb and trem. I do have a weird liking for amps of unreasonable, large size which is weird, as I live in New York City with no s

SUNN model T reissue in the shop today. These amps are great for all things loud and heavy. If you never wondered how much trouble one can pass through a quad 6L6s, this amp can show ya

Off the bench is the 1968 Fender Deluxe Reverb. You can always identify a 68 from the aluminum trim around the grill, often called drip edge. These drip edges are the first silver panel amps Fender produced. Often silver panels are identical, or very

Getting floor ready are two 1960 Gibson GA-5 Skylarks. How good do these Skylarks sound? Amps imitate life sometimes cause this straightforward simple circuit proves that less can be more. Look to tube amps for life wisdom and great tone💥💥💥💥 For

“Great art fails in the hands of others” Leonard Cohen. when creating art always be yourself, it’s the only way. Thank you @cindy_hulej for these film photos of my amps. I listen to them all the time and honestly forget sometimes th

From the workbench to the neighboring buildings roof is this 1959 Magnatone 213. A little 18 watt crooner. This has the famous Magnatone frequency shifting vibrato. This amp needed a general servicing, and a new filter can cap.

New YouTube video posted!! In the 1950s, the race for volume was real. With changes in music and electronics the need for louder amps was on and the ability to execute it was possible. In this video I restore a ‘56 Magnatone Maestro along with
