:lol:

Any recommendations for upgrades? (Chord, speaker, etc?)
Mine's been three-pronged, recapped, NOS power tube (I don't recall which one at the moment), and I put a Jensen MOD speaker in it.

It's the best sounding amp I own.

Lean back legs arrived, took them to a machinest (the fourth shop I looked up), and they are going to take them from 14" to 12.5" so they will work with the tiny little thing. I will have to come up with measurements to fit them properly, anyone have a lean back amp for reference?

I thought about buying that. Glad you like it I guess.

Vibrochamps are incredible, well done!

Amp arrived got the new speaker in, put the tubes back in, for a one button foot switch.

Tremolo works, and the amp works, but the volume kind of dies after 1, then goes back to normal around 3, any ideas?

Extra bonus, it's already converted to 3 prong! If I can figure out the volume drop I won't even have to take this thing to the tech. The tubes were removed for transport, I put them back In Carefully, so I will google the problem as well

Dirty pot probably. My Vibrochamp does that some.

Quick pic from today, amp shows up and I am stuck at a wedding all day, ugh.

Also considering adding a drip edge, it looks so nice on silverface amps and doesn't cost much

Sole-mate pedal! I really, really want one of those.

A super deal came up local, I figured it was worth it as I want good reverb on my vox and tone-master, plus it works great on the bronco. Another note, the grill cloth on the bronco is a bit crooked, is there an easy way to straighten it out?

Also more shitty iphone pics

tilt legs came back from the machinist (14" fender legs cut down to 12.5"), and the amp corners came in to cover the peeling top corners on the top back.
