Thank you Nils, but we'll wait and see how well Ned's and Steve's rebuilds turned out. They've been shipped back and I should know this week if I'm a hero or a zero.
The Bandmaster is a typical work of Ebay art. "Dear purchaser. When you reach behind the head to turn this amp on please be careful you don't;"
a. Put your hand in my 115 volt fan
b. Kill yourself with the 450 volt DC B+ voltage found at the bias jacks I put in.
Disclaimer;
My channel gain is your loss. Although this amp could have been salvaged I have intentionally reduced the resale value by drilling a hole through the serial number located on the back of the chassis. In closing, please do not call me questioning mods to the amp which are not documented, mostly do not work, or were performed using low grade components. I do not warranty the Italian Jensens. We all know they suck, but hey, you bought this amp, and now they're yours.
Have fun,
Uli
