Got my vintage Bogen amp project from Ebay yesterday and last night when Tim came over we plugged it in for the first time. All the tubes except for 1 showed signs of firing up. The 70 year old amp was ALIVE! BWAHAHAH. then just as suddenly the rectifyer tube started to spark. It was a tense 8 or 10 seconds but had to shutdown in a hurry . This morning I hit Ebay for a replacement for the rectifyer I have a feeling this project is going to nickle and dime me to death.and I have only started 😛
Has anyone tried anything like this before with success?
