Is replacing the whole amp an option?

There are plenty of unreliable all tube heads over here. This one has "road backup" written all over it. There are preamp tubes. perhaps they mean those.

alright, I'm in the process of getting a schematic.

So this is probably old hat to you cheeks but it was new to me. When I opened up my buddy's Harmonic Energizer to work on it I was confronted with these oddball stripey caps. I guess it was a short lived and not very popular means of identifying the value just like resistor stripes.

I honestly dont know what the deal with those are. From looking at the other parts, I can tell you that it probably isn't some new way of labeling caps. They had that figured out before op amps were common.

may be some gay way to hide "SECRET" cap values

[PaCrappa]

I wasn't asking you if it was a short lived and not very popular means of identifying the value just like resistor stripes. I was telling you. It says the value right on the board too.

I need 2 cheap bass 15's. ohmage and wattage are fairly unimportant.

Any suggestions?

Was looking at the Eminence beta 15. Seems reasonable at $70.

Pa, you seem to have the hook up around there. Anyone looking to unload 2 with the cheapness?

[PaCrappa]

Soldano doesn't keep 15's around and I don't really have any other source besides CL which has nothing like that of late. It seems like most of the bass players I know are using 10's in some configuration or other. I will keep my ear to the ground though.

Look for an ampeg b25 cabinet. I got mine for $200

[Fe 26]

I think I have a stock of everything but 15s
