1961 Fender Super 6G4A (restoration)

One of my favorite brownface era vintage fender amps around, the 2x10 Fender Super 6G4A complete with lush harmonic trem!

This amp came in for a service with reports of some weird noises when it warmed up and potentially low output. In this video I show you a decent portion of the work in detail including making the amp adjustable bias, new caps, new grill cloth, etc.
