For some reason I have accumulated quite a collection of power amps, and all of my smaller ones were free ("that's broken, you can have it," they say....) needing little more than deoxit and some TLC. I wound up with an old BGW (50 wpc I think), a Yamaha "natural sound" series with 60 or so wpc, A p...

If you want to take it back to original spec as an intercom, the first thing you need is a schematic. I see an empty tube socket, and it's anyone's guess what goes there...who knows what else has been lost or removed? I was looking at that, and judging from how many wires are going to it, I would s...

there's an easier way to do a cap discharge... you can jumper from pin 7 on the first preamp tube socket (usually closest to the input) to ground. Pin 7 is one of the triode grids. jumpering it to ground will not discharge the PS caps, it would just be like turning the volume knob off. Get a mulitm...

hard to tell from the pics, but it looks like the switch in the center decides whether the speaker makes sound or acts as a microphone. if you got it running you could maybe use it for special effects type vocals. Also looks like you have a transformerless power supply and "death cap" situation. if ...

finally have acquired something worth posting to this monster thread. ...last weekend I scored a 1950s Hammond M3 for $50 off craigslist. everything on it works perfectly. (tonewheel squeaks a tiny bit, oil has been ordered), almost perfect cosmetic condition. I am not a keys player but stoked to le...

I notice you're in Chicago. I don't think people have taken that approach to finding new bands in Chicago for at least fifteen years...every time I'm at a bar -to play a gig or see a band- any given band's friends show up right before they play, and leave right when they're done. That's the way we ...

I usually just inwardly sigh and shake my head at these "how will we keep making money?" threads, but I would like to weigh in on bandcamp. I am in a band that has had a myspace page for several years, and we always saw it as a necesaary evil since, in our scene at least, being on myspace was the on...

one thing that's worked great for me, especially on scratch coats, is to "wet sand" with a big soft sponge. what you do is do your taping and mudding, and then wait for the magic point where the mud is setting but still a little soft (like if you tried to sand it you would just get a smeared mess). ...
