Hi,
I last used my Simms Watt 100w Head about 20 years ago. The best is around 48 years old.
I'm now planning to start it up, and fix it I guess...
Do you have any advises on how to start it up after so many years out of business?
I first need to get a mains cable, since I lost it, somewhere in time.
Here's some pics of the amp.

I don't have real electronics experience. I can replace simple components and trace them down on the schematics. Last year I managed to bring back to life my old Marshall Valvestate, I just ended up replacing all the main caps of the amp. I hope this doesn't get much more complex though.
Any hints or suggestions are welcome.
Cheers.
