If those are for the bias supply, I'd definitely change them!

With those six 6L6GCs, that thing is rated at 180wRMS and it'll produce more like 220wRMS on the bench. It it were mine, and I realize that it ain't, I'd want every-damn-one of those watts at my disposal, if for no other reason but to defy my dad 40 years later!
Oh yes, I owned one of those with reverb once upon a time ...
Look at Justin Thomas' signature ...

If those are the bias supply caps and one of them <IS> bad, it could make this entire amp a waste in a matter of minutes... the bias circuit is probably <THE> single most critical circuit in an amp especially one of this caliber. Aaron Pittman may not get much love around here (perhaps for valid reasons), but one piece of advice of his I doubt anyone will argue with: "don't lose your bias." It's a couple bucks at most - REALLY cheap insurance, and you'll use them later if you don't need them.

I have the amp open on my desk...
The red wire goes to the junction of two resistors and another red wire. The greenish wire goes to the junction of the two capacitors and resistor (one capacitor is under the inductor, and the other capacitor is in parallel with the resistor), I hope the pics are clear enough!

Originally posted by nevetslab View PostWelcome to the forum. I would suggest you open a new thread with this. We don't know what your questions are, assume it pertains to another Fender Super Reverb, so please ask away and present what the issues are, as best you can. As you'll be composing in the 'Advanced' window, you have all of the facilities to add photos and attachments (pdf's, etc), and has a Preview feature to do your edits prior to submitting your first thread.
First off, I tried to add the photos already but the forum tells me I do not have permission to do so (I assume because I am new).
Secondly, I was answering the original question, I have the exact same same amp as the OP, and he was asking where these wires go, I took photos, circled the locations of where the wires go, and gave a detailed description of what I saw just in case the photos were unclear.
Does that clear things up?
Cheers
