billm Blues Jr check

I am pretty sure i know the answer to this question already, but does anyone have any tips for checking/verifying whether a blues jr. has had proper billm mods?

i am checking out a BJr that supposedly has had many of the billm mods done to it, and wander if there is any way to me sure of the quality of the mods? how can i tell that some yayhoo didn't do the mods or not use the right parts...

You can send a photo of the circuit board. I can generally recognize my own work. All 2008 and later boards are signed if done by me and the amps have a "mods by Billm" sticker if done here.

Lots and lots of people have installed the kits properly or had a tech do it, so one that's been done in the field is not necessarily a dealbreaker.

I would like to give a big thumbs up to Bill m. He did a couple mods to my Blues Junior (Basic green board mods, TwinStack, Audio-taper, Ruby reverb tank, High-voltage preamp) it sounds really nice. I kept the original speaker... I like it!


Thanks,
Nuno
