Deluxe Reverb to Blackface continues

January 22nd, 2014 posted under Amps.

Here are some more pictures of the Fender Deluxe Reverb we are fixing up for a customer from Ohio. Now that the old components and have been completely removed, we can clean the chassis and prepare it to be completely rewired from scratch. At this time, we clean everything including all of the tube sockets. The original Fender fiber board / eyelet board seems to have taken on quite a bit of moisture (which can cause problems down the road), so one of the steps we do before starting wiring is to bake the moisture out of the board in an oven.

Chassis stripped and cleaned.

We “bake” the original fender fiber board to remove excess moisture.

One of many small tolex repairs that need to be done to this Deluxe Reverb’s cabinet.
