Shout-out to the guys on that site who have been helping me nurse my beloved '73 115 Sixty-five back to DEFCON 1 condition.

I could have dropped it off at a shop but, I really wanted to as much of it as I could myself.
It has been a months-long project, but they have been with me every step of the way. I can't say enough about how cool they have been.
Great people, great people, great people!

Been playing my Tele through it most of the night and, I have sure missed that amp.

I loves me some Music Man goodness. I have a 210 Seventy-five myself.

What did you have to do to it?

I changed out every Electrolytic Capacitor in it and, put a new set of EL34's in the power section.

But I'm changing my tune today.
The Tubes are from an old Marshall. Better than what was in there, but I'm going to return them.
The Low Power setting is where I do most of my playing and it doesn't sound right to my ears.
I may yet have to change-out a couple of Resistors and Zener Diodes.

Can you give me a link to the website, please. When I type in www.musicman.com I get something completely different.

Must be this one:

There is a Musicmanamps.com that had a bunch of schematics and such, but it doesn't seem to be working for me right now.
