Hi, all.
Recently recapped/retubed a nice 67 Pro Reverb and am working on a few issues in channel 2. Channel 1 has no issues.
1. There's a strange rustling noise that is intermittent, but I can provoke it by chopsticking the .1uf (brown blob) and .047uf tone caps. If I graze it with or poke it with the stick, the noise is very intense. The other caps in the preamp are not exhibiting this noise.
2. There is almost 385vdc on V2's plates, instead of just on the rail, which is sitting at around 410vdc. The dropping resistors on the filter pack board are all within 5% or less variance and there's 460vdc coming off the JJ GZ34.
Fun fact, I recently found out this is Jimmy Vivino's old amp.
Cheers, all. Hope y'all are safe and healthy!
