So my buddy Darwin shows up with an amp...

Turns out it's a 1959 tweed Deluxe


Original and unmolested. Still with original caps, tubes, loudspeaker, and <gulp> two prong power cord

Just stay on the wooden deck and don't touch anything other than the guitar while the amp is plugged in.

Wow! Leo Fender probably touched it! When you play it can you hear the spirit of Leo? You are so lucky! When you plug it in use a good surge protector.

Actually it was missing it's rectifier tube, and I didn't have the correct replacement. So we never fired it up. <sad>

 

[Spud]

Please send amp to me immediately so I can install tube.

Maybe a ground fault interrupter?
