Do you mind sharing what model Hakko Desoldering gun that is, and are you satisfied with it? I think it's the FR-301? I'll double check when I'm back there. It's not as good as the bench PACE station we have, but it does 95% of what you need. I'd recommend it. I had a Hakko 808 desoldering gun for ...

$200 Squier Paranormal 12-string, on local CL, two neighborhoods over. I've never been horny for a Squier. Or any guitar that wasn't at least a little bit old. It's white with a white pickguard that's been cut in half for some reason. I get how the "Guitar Center Fenders" can feel soulles...

A long time ago I bought a bunch of ones like this and they're just fine. https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/NX8AAOSwdAtkzeWW/s-l1200.jpg Also, i'm not putting aluminum necked guitars on them but everything else including heavy P-Basses has been just fine without stud mounting. EZ anchors like this are ...

Working on tracing out my Hiwatt Custom 20 right now. It's quite a bit simpler (one channel, no trem). Same number of tubes though. Do you have reason to believe its different from this one that's floating around online? https://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=27345.0;attach=909...

I'll happily help disseminate it out into the various DIY forums if you do.

Tuners for my Squier Jazzmaster. The tuners are p bad. Hard to go wrong with some plain old vintage style Gotohs or Klusons, imo. https://www.stewmac.com/parts-and-hardware/tuning-machines/solid-peghead-guitar-tuning-machines/gotoh-vintage-style-oval-knob-6-in-line-tuners?queryid=83d0be0045e328b900...

Supro S6497 Guitarist in my band played through it tonight and agreed that it was the best sounding amp I've had through here since we started playing together. That's out of probably 15 guitar amps that I've fixed and flipped in the last 5 years. I think he still likes his own 90s tweed 4x10 bassm...

2) There's the four 470k carbon comp resistors in parallel with the rectifier diodes, which is equivalent to 470k between B+ and ground. Assuming 500 V B+, that's only ~1 mA of current, or about 0.5 W. They look to be 2 or 3 W resistors. Not sure what the purpose is here. It's not enough to cause a...

I have a traynor Mark III - 100 watt head. If I wanna run it at 50 watts, do I just pull the 2 outer tubes? MFer needs to chillax.... Yes that should be fine. Also your output impedance will double (what used to be 4Ω will now be 8Ω, etc). And finally dont be surprised if you dont hear much differe...
