Hi Gang,

I opened up the amp head tonight just to have a look. I put my father-in-laws old Simpson 260 multi-meter on the output cable and I think I am getting 3 volts. I set the meter on DC+, 10v, and it is giving me 3 if I'm reading the correct scale I took a look inside, didn't see any thing obvious, like swelled popped caps, looks like a large cap has been replaced on the effects board, and it looks like there are 2 legs sticking out of same board that aren't attached to anything, but seems they should be (one has a blob of solder on end), maybe why the vibrato never worked. I took some photos, but I can't post them yet. I don't think that I am going to able to do much with it myself, but have someone that I can take to, and will pass on tips from you guys to him, and the schematics.

Thanks,

Bob W
