I'll have to get out my monsters:

Fender Mexi Strat (2000 or so?)
Epiphone EA-250

1970 Ampeg GT-10
1969 Fender Deluxe Reverb
1976 (ish) Fender Pro Reverb

Korg AX1000G
And a really old, random Fuzz-Wah.

Older stuff; A Maestro Amp which I know really nothing about, as well as an older Gibson that is in DIRE need of repair.

If you mean an older Gibson amp that needs repair- is it tube or solid state? If tube, go to www.fenderforum.com and look in the Amp Mods, Repairs and Projects section.

If tubes, it probably needs new electrolytic caps. That alone could get it up and running. If any of the tubes have a white, milky look, replace them unless it's on the outside of the glass.

I've done a little tube work over the years, so I know enough to keep me from messing up severely.

I should have been more specific. There is a Maestro Amplifier, that needs to be tended to. There is also a Gibson GUITAR that has been damaged. I can see where that sentence would make you think I was talking about a Gibson amp.


Also, one more protip:
6V6's DO NOT LIKE 5U4 Rectifiers!

Don't ask
