I'm not specifically familiar with the Vibro Champ layout/schematic, but those pot values shouldn't be too hard to get. I'd go with Alpha or PEC if you want to spend some more cash. Both will work fine, but the PEC are much more $$ and in theory should last a loooong time. I also noticed that most o...

If you are looking for a tight low-end, you probably want to stick with a ceramic magnet, although that's not always the case. Marshally - maybe a G12 variety? Speaker warehouse has a bunch of reasonably priced knock offs that get good reviews. I have some Celestion Vintage 10's in a newer Fender Su...

That's not good news at all... I have yet to install the upgrade. Are you going to try to revert, or are you just not using B4 anymore?

I'm not sure what the intended use is, but IMO one of my favorite things to do is juice the makeup gain into the 33609's limiter section. I don't own anything else (or have I used anything else) that can come close to that sound. Then again, if you're gonna use it for 2 bus, you may not want the eff...

After using a Coles on a session last Summer, I had to get one. I have a budget pair of ribbons I use regularly, but they are completely different. I haven't used a germ, but I'd agree with almost everything else stated here regarding the utility of various pres and the unmistakeableness of the Cole...

Red Type B -> Buzz or Hamptone -> La2 or 1176. Somewhat of a starting point then change mic/pre/comp to suit song if necessary.

I don't know for certain if the residue will conduct electricity, but I'd say no. WD40 definitely leaves behind nasty residue - it's essentially naphtha and mineral oil.
