Tube Amps 101 includes over 1 ½ hours of video – just like standing over the shoulder of an amp tech for a day, without all the tech. No technical jargon or "geekenese". Just all kinds of tips and tricks, while you watch from your easy chair.

This video was inspired by a recent sale on eBAY in which the seller, a highly regarded California dealer, described a "museum quality" 1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb. It sold for nearly $3000.00. The problem for the buyer was – it wasn’t what it was represented to be. This happens on eBay every day. But it doesnt have to happen to you! 

The seller provided enough pictures to easily determine what was right and wrong with this amp – IF YOU KNOW HOW! This video will show you! You will learn to definitively date Fender amps and the parts inside. This alone could save you hundreds, maybe even thousands of dollars on your next vintage amp purchase. What you learn can be applied to nearly ANY vintage amp, for dating and/or maintenance/repair purposes. A complete copy of the above auction is included in your BONUS CD. You will see and learn for yourself.

This video is filmed around what was represented as a 1964 Fender Deluxe Reverb. We show you EXACTLY how to determine it’s REAL date of manufacture.

While we go through our test amp we show all the things to look for in rehabing an old amplifier. 

Things like:

1. How to tell if the filter caps are bad.

2. How to perform a "cap job".

3. What to look for when inspecting the amp from outside.

4. What to look for when inspecting the circuit board.

5. How to properly convert a 2-prong power cord to 3-prong grounded.

6. Replacing screen grid resistors.

7. How to bias your amp using the Transformer Shunt Method.

8. How to clean and enhance the appearance of your amp.

9. How to read the manufacturer codes on speakers, transformers, capacitors, etc. 

10. What all those parts on the circuit board actually do,

and much more.

Including a FREE BONUS "Secret Link" containing over 50 pages of printable reference material.
