Deluxe Reverb Teardown

January 13th, 2014 posted under Amps. [Trackback]

This is a Silverface Deluxe Reverb from Toledo Ohio that has come in with a bunch of problems from a botched blackface conversion. All of the wiring was melted by a sloppy soldering iron job, so we are going to be tearing this thing apart completely and starting from scratch. The rear of the baffle has a bunch of mysterious drill-holes so we will be filling those and repainting the baffle, cleaning all of the pots jacks and sockets, adding a longer 3-prong plug, tweaking the tremolo and any other fixes or improvements that come up.

All of the old wiring, capacitors and jacks have been pulled.

Pots being disassembled to be cleaned and lubricated properly.

Knob before and after cleaning.
