The Ampeg arrived in sad shape. Power transformer smoked, Filter cap leaking, Jensen speaker rotted and voice coil drag. At first I thought, it was a lost cause. Not as collectible as a classic Fender. Might not be worth investing into. Then considering its history and potential for another 30 years of life, I elected to go ahead and rebuild the old gal. If I simply break even, thats OK. Had the speaker reconed at the Circuit Shop in Grand Rapids. Installed a CE Manufacturing 4 section filter cap, from Amplifiedparts.com. Powered it up using a variac and wahla! sound! Now the rest of the amp needs to be re-capped + tubes checked, etc. Its coming along. I will have a follow up soon of this jewel playing. Great project!
