Hi there,
I've managed to snap the volume pot shaft on my Valvestate 8080. The amp is quite old and well gigged. It's got crackly pots and the valve could do with a replacement. Ultimately I'm just looking to put it in a reasonable state in order to ebay it.
I don't really have much experience with amplifiers but my dad used to be an electronics teacher so I'm sure he can assist. And I'm not too bad with a soldering iron myself.
I just need to replace the volume pot but I cannot find what model pot to replace it with anywhere. Can anyone help?
While it's open I think a good clean of the other pots and probably replacement of the valve would be a good idea. Can anyone suggest which valve to get?
Lastly while I'm asking the experts is there anything that would be worth "tidying" up in there while I have it apart?
Thanks in advance
