Looking for equipment to employ in the testing/ resurrection of amplifiers. Just getting into it- finding that new variable autotransformers are suspect/ potentially hazardous to my (some older than me) Fender heads, so I'm in search of old trusy American iron. At some point I'll want an oscilloscope as well, once I get am inkling of what I'm actually doing. Can drive to pickup if in proximity to St. Louis, MO, or eat the shipping if further away.
Thanks,

Go to a hamfest. You will find everything you need and guys who can tell you how to use it. |

Hamfest is definitely the way to go. I have a bunch of good old test equipment I'm looking to sell, but it's all very heavy and would cost a fortune to ship these days. I'll be trying to sell this stuff locally.

Yeah- I’ve already found a couple fests within 50 miles in the next 30 days, so I’m on track! _________________ Excel Superb D10, Sarno Black Box or Freeloader, Goodrich L120, Boss DD5, Baby Bloomer, 1965 Super Reverb chopped to a head, feeding a mystery PA cab w/ a K130.
