Crazies are at it again 2 Bumblebee caps for?

[Bill Cahill]

All joking aside, I agree with you guys.. I know that when they were brand new, the amps sounded fine, like the new caps do now. But, within a couple of years they were already starting to fail. The people playing the instruments were complainning that the sound was getting distorted.
Watch a Sangamo cap go when it shorts... Beutiful explosion!

These modern collectors are too wet around the ears, and don't know what they are doing. They really need trainning in what this equpment really sounded like new, and tha failure rate.

That is the one thing In old tube equipment, especially with the low grade caps., that failed the most. CAPACITORS!

After that it was tubes, resistors, and audio output transformers. We sure replaced our sharre of those at the tv shop.In Everything. Particularly in the cheaper equipment.
