Hi Ya'll,

I have been having 'puter problems, even my hi-tech buddy's are ?? so here goes, This is a preview of a problem, this site doesn't get a lot of hits so here goes............ my 1958 Pilot console just got the amp retubed, doucanoe, my roomie says there is a issue with some thing, I think it just needs to settle down having not being played in awhile, he knows his stuff, all new EL84's in the amp, he say's he hears an issue? I've not had time off to listen for an extended period. Made him promise to let you know what's up as he hears it!! Pilots Rule!!

Hey stewee, Thats a nice amp, sa-232 I would guess? Im not sure what exactly to tell you. Is it noise (hum) that is being heard or something else. If It hasn't been recapped it should be. The electrolytics are old and tired and need replacement. This should be done regardless if thats the source of the problem or not. I would hate to see you take out (ie: meltdown) anything more than a handfull of caps on one of my favorite 6bq5 tube amplifiers!
