Electrolytics in storage will show increased DC leakage due to oxide layer deterioration, manufacturers usually recommend undertaking a re-forming procedure by application of voltage gradually increasing to nominal with current limited to about twice the nominal leakage current for an hour or so. If you read electrolytic caps data sheets carefully, somewhere there, buried will be a line mentioning, that the rubber seal is guaranteed to maintain its condition for 10 to 15 years only.

@@Santaji55 Hey Man welcome aboard! I am just pokin some fun at all of us. Don't take me too seriously,,, I certainly don't. Except maybe if you actually are a philosophy major. In that case I completely understand. But seriously, we all gotta get our hustle on, one way or another, With the whacky inflation the way it is, we do what we gotta do! (won't get into politics) Whatever it takes to fulfill ones appetite and secure safe haven for oneself! It certainly easier to support ones self thru what one enjoys versus having to toil at something that is displeasing or disgraceful. However, there are seldom if any get rich quick ways to achieve wealth. Even crime requires much effort (plus it usually is such bad karma). It is much easier directing your attention to things that keep your interests and stuff you can't get enough of... Unfortunately even the best hobbies, leisure pursuits and greatest dreams can become very sour once that they become full on commitments and obligations that require your ability to consistently exceed expectations! For me doing this as a semi (un)-professional hobby, that is in addition to my full time high paying job has afforded me the ability to pick and choose who, when and what I want to work on. I can pretend to be a real business and take advantage of hanging out on the outside fringe of what's moving and shaking, enjoying the social aspect of belonging to somewhat of the larger bigger industry like I am an insider. I get to look over the shoulders of others and weasel my way into different circles where I can name drop! Its like being a party crasher. I am getting away at being the Biggest Poser! Its funny that as I write this, I am laughing at myself trying to describe myself, who am I and just exactly what I am doing or what I have to gain ..... Really it's a social thing for me. I have gone to alot of trouble and expense to put on a front, just so at the very end I can lay claim to getting my own NAMM show tickets! I have pretty good cred because I do good work on the stuff I like to work on and I am cheap. I pay to have business, usually a little bit more than I bring into it. My real shitty job pays for everything in my livelyhood including subsidizing this in addition to paying for several other of my expensive hobbies! This amp thing is the only hobby that helps support itself but sometimes it can get old. I pace myself as to not lose interests.

I am as old as you. Built a bass guitar and amp, started as an apprentice mechanical engineer at a gas turbine research establishment - but in the UK. Our band built everything it needed to play the music it wanted to play. A Fender Bass cost as much as a new car, so we built and built and built. We worked outside the usual musical agencies, as their primary bank appeared to be gambling machines. 6G6s were replaced by EL33s and EL34s. It was so much fun that the survivors are still reeling as to how it so quickly blew up. Do not ask us, for we have no answers. Now I have a drinking game with your sound cuts. How are the mighty fallen. (Puts down violin.) RIP Rusty. Few people deserve pets.

Old School Army tech here, and I love it, Uncle Doug! I had my US Army Basic Electronics Training at Ft. Gordon GA in 1978. My MOS was 32-H "Fixed Station Radio Repairer", and the training was very heavily about Vacuum Tube theory and operation. Vacuum tubes were on their way out in most areas, but not in Radio. You can't get high power transmission (10KW-20KW) out of transistors, not even close. So we were taught all about vacuum tubes and the associated circuits. After ten years of military service, I was medically retired (wounded in Central America) and I went to college and got my degree as an Electronics Technician initially, and I finally ended up with a BSEE. Since then I mostly have done electronics repairs, and I specialized in the restoration of antique electronics equipment and tube guitar amplifiers. I fix Solid State amps too, but I don't especially like working with them. My heart is in the old stuff with tubes. I love your channel, Uncle Doug, it is a refresher course for me watching you fix up these old guitar amplifiers. I pay close attention to you, and I pick up a lot of tips and tricks. We're all learning together in this world, and I'll be learning and teaching until I leave this remarkable world. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise with us, Uncle Doug, you are doing a valuable service to the community of budding technicians and refreshing we older technicians!

From one amp tech to another, your response to commenters in the "News Desk Update" was absolutely hilarious! I really did LOL on that one. Your explanations and delivery of detail along the way is outstanding sir. Thank you for your efforts.

I believe that your viewers know by now that they send the best, to the best... I love your enthusiasm when you get an un-molested amp in for service. I've only seen 15 minutes of this video so far but I know it will have a stellar outcome. Thanks.

I wound up drinking 2 liters of Oktoberfest because you used the word 'blithely'. But seriously, thanks for your informative and humorous videos. You're providing such a valuable service to us tube amp enthusiasts, and you've helped to get me from wanting to work on tube amps to actually doing it. Absolutely magnificent!

After a 50+ year career in pro-audio electronics (and a lifetime hobby), I never fail to find your videos both informative and entertaining. No matter how many amps, EQs, compressors, mixers - you name it - that I've had my hands in, I always find something new to learn in your posts. I do need to point something out, though, that I think you might have missed. Fender typically uses a shorting jack for the primary speaker output on their amps, and you can't measure the continuity of the output transformer secondary without either putting a dummy plug in the jack, or just manually moving the jack's main leaf away from the shorting leaf. When you measured the OT secondary in this video, the low resistance you read was just the resistance of your test leads from one ground point to another. And how dare I correct the magnificent Uncle Doug?!

I generally place a small piece of paper or business card between the hot and ground leaves, John.....but in this case it appears that I failed to do so. Thanks for your helpful input.

Thanks for the video UD! I always keep close a sufficient provision of Czech beer when watching your videos, right beside my bastardized european version of a Lay Z Boy. This drink is 100% natural, no added chemicals (Czechs proud in that). I hope you approve it as a proper hydration. UD Time! Cheers from Prague!

Although I am not an amp tech and do not understand half of what you are talking about, your knowledge rings true according to the osmosis learning part of my brain . So educational and entertaining at the same time. And now a drinking game today. Got a double shot in there at one point with the movie reference. Thanks for that Unc!
