It's always nice to come across another Amp tech channel. All I need now is a qualified amp tech near Greenville, NC. Beautiful Twin, and I enjoyed your video with a couple of exceptions. I don't enjoy background music or fast forward segments. But then, I'm a retired old fart. Best wishes.
So I’m not in the city itself. I live in the far north suburbs. Kinda by Six Flags. My website and Facebook have my business info if you’d like to set something up! ballingeramplification.com
Any reason you did not replace the white eletrolytic pre amp cathode bi pass caps? They usually get replaced when restoring these older amps. Really made a difference in a few of my amps.
Hey! Yeah good question and good eye! I recommended it to the customer. I recommended many more things actually. I usually replace several more caps than what’s shown. However the customer wasn’t willing to have that additional work done. So with this amp, I stuck to exactly what he saw as important. And considering he initially only brought it in for the reverb problem, I’m glad he listened to my advice for the rest of the work. Particularly with that scary power cord.
@@ballingeramplification1872 That makes total sense. You can only do what they are willing to allow and or pay for. Lucky for me I don’t currently have to worry about customers, just me restoring my own amps or my brothers. I really gave the works to my brothers 1967 Dual Showman, it totally needed it too. I posted a video on the Dual Showman and plan to post a few more of the amps I am currently working on. I currently just finished up a 1968 Super Reverb and am almost done overhauling a 1976 Twin Reverb. Also nice shout out to Colleen of Fazio in your video. I am a fan of hers as well.
@@Zelleram55 oh that sounds rad! Yeah as of right now I don’t mind my customers. They pay the bills lol. But I’m slowly gathering a vintage collection to refurbish myself. I’ll check out your videos. Yeah Colleen is the best! I found her channel a while back, and then We met last year. She helped me out a ton on this one when I got lost in the schematics.

Thanks! I prefer The black face Bassman myself but the old twin reverbs are also amazing. Appreciate the compliment!
