First I want to thank Stevem for the welcome to the community. I appreciate the information provided right from the start. I'll try to be brief here and seek information from you guys and gals.

I removed the amp from the housing and discovered the following: It was full of dirt, cobwebs, dead spiders and other bugs. But I found that someone has been inside at some time in the past. Each of the input jacks designated LOW for the Bright and Normal Channels have toothpicks inserted between the metal clips keeping the innermost part from touching the outermost. I am in the dark as to why someone would do this. Maybe you guys can shed some insight on this for me. As for the rest of the interior, I cannot see any other modifications.

In addition to this, Stevem I have attempted to locate the same 4500mfd@50 volt rail filters on the net. I am having no such luck, so can you direct me to the appropriate web site. I am going to only use the amp for guitar and have no intentions of any other instruments running through it. Are there other things I should be looking at before replacing the above?

Also, I should note that I am not an electronic whiz, (just basics) but there is a electronics technician at work who I will call upon for the nitty gritty repairs. Would he need the schematics for this amp? If so, is there somewhere I could obtain these?

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.
