I 'll probably get one of those cap deflaters DM mentioned. I recall "dont use a screwdrivel !" from somewhere. Is there any danger putting an iron to a hot cap? I mean like one leg at a time right?

No reason to malign the conscientious who inflate in moderation...

This mod are Ohtey. OK here' the vaca tour: This thing: Them caps: This transfomenblat: This stoodul needs to catalog: The twisty thing might be on the RCAs but I forget. I'm pretty sure there's a plug for it. The board should pop off without those black screws unless stuff needs to be unsoldered - haven't checked. Only the right cap is loose and I'd really prefer to just melt it back in place. Also the volume pot needs replacing but it works. The reverb (spring) is not happening so I might go after that if this phase works.

You know I can't say I've ever sold any of my gear. I recall I got 50 bucks in trade for a GE7 and 30 bucks for an Ibanez potato bug compressor (pals with the sales guy) Besides it's just the random jerk that grabs something I had eyes on.

Actually maybe this weekend. I gotta pull this thing out of its parking space and haul it out into the garage and stand it on its head so I can pic the innards. I have the chassis loose. That was the hard part. The thing just wouldn't slide out; swollen cab or something. Finally took a rubber mallet to it and pried it past whatever the hang up was. It won't go back in without a fight either. (fuq) Also there's a matter of a half dozen or so connections (they just need to be marked but eyy )

Ok wait a few hrs.

Oh and free likes to all respondents pro or con.

My trusty sub, a Fender 80 w keyboard amp threw one of the two big caps - probably from sneezing in the cold weather. The amp works properly if I twist the one cap just right but it's really impractical to rig it to stay that way. Thankfully it's a simple design and some elementary tech-ing should get me under the board where I can reconnect it properly. So question, what do I need to know/do to avoid fried me? Thx in advance...

HC eulogy needs updating.

Not particularly enamored of flippers - at least not when they grab goods you need and tack on their price.

Pics is good. I can save my reading chops for sleep n sht.

C# inn too bad, It's all the black keys, the b and e sharps are c and f and when you get ##, just play the closest white key.

More Blogna for this blog. Been doing a lot of therapeutic drills lately. This is simply working the tension points that impede mechanical smoothness. If you have a working, habitual technique going, it's pretty easy to discover these dead zones and deal with them on the level of physical therapy. Simply work the zones as slowly as required on beginner material. In my case square Haydnesque rhythmic figures. I call the work, parametric discomfort. The nice thing is you always know where your work is. Stop for an hour, day or week, it's right where you left it, waiting.

you don't watch CNN, https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2022/01/20/toronto-guitar-steal-man-pants-moos-pkg-vpx.cnn

oh and in the 60s Super Slinkies were the only way for my teeny tweeny fingers to bend notes. Actually I was 13 or 14 but that doesn't rhyme.

I just noticed there's a badpenguin on the AzBilliards pool forum. Is that youm?

RIP dood. Ahmma break out my Rowin Dumbler and bask in reverence. 🥲

Sounds VL or similar or anything with a good wind controller. Might just be a horn sample too.

Continuing the buncha busy animals theme, https://www.cnn.com/2022/01/13/world/icefish-colony-discovery-scn/index.html you've probably come across this already but I can't fathom the numbers. Crazy.

Used to perv on the les paul model. I like the big radius on the cutout. Somewhere along the line I stopped "wailing" on the high notes and forgot about it. lol.

Owls is overrated. There's a 4 lane road out here and the occasional owl will plant itself in the middle of a lane and stare blankly at oncoming lights. I guess they're waiting for rodents to scamper across. Seldom ends well.

Leave that alone for PoliJam...

You did but you can't like a like. lol.

Gotta be present to get liked.
