- MojoTone sent me this amplifier repair stand just in time for a Fender Bassman in need of service. I had an old homebrew stand. After using this modern apparatus, the old stand is history. What a difference, stable, safety needed when servicing vintage expensive amps. Yes, I had several close calls in the past, amps slipping off the old stand, lucky I was able to react and save the impending damage. I am sold on this device. If your into the repair hobby, I would highly recommend that you make this investment. As you know, I have partnered with MojoTone. They have really rolled out the red carpet for me. I feel very accepted and respected by their company. In todays world, I need that. Glad they reached out.
Good old Vandenberg - 30th Communications Squadron. I miss Lompoc back in the day! Good times. We enjoyed our tour there.
Well this answers my question on the Apr 12, 2021 video about the amp stand. Very nice.
green caps are NOS soviet PIO from 80s-90s, you can buy them here in Russia for like 1$ per piece. and they are good, from my little experience, no leakage detected
Mojo HAS great stuff! I'm an avid DIYer and built mine, but...this.chassis stand IS top shelf! Most dyi designs use a fixed side and a moveable side. This Mojo is a superior design. Those big green caps maybe from Russia, supposedly are of high quality. I use them in guitar tone controls. I can't say they ARE any better than orange drops or others.I bought a 1965 Bassman with JBLs used in mint condition in 1969 and I kick myself for ever selling it. Divorce = sell Bassman. Keep your Bassman, lose the wife! She don't get it! Ha Ha! Love from NW Colorado. Thanxz
I like these simple fixes, easy to remember, not so overwhelming. Like how you did one at a time too. Thanks
I've always loved the tone of a good Bassman for guitar! Highly modifiable too!
A mid-week D-Lab! Remember kids, don't be like Elmer...
Those green capacitors are Russian PIO (paper in oil). They were made in vast quantities for the military. Audiophiles love them so I stocked them for a while, but a couple of years ago I put some in and they were already leaky. So I've quit. Frankly those yellow polyester ones are good enough.
I found your channel a couple of months ago. Your videos are top notch! I have pretty much decided restoring old electronics is going to be my retirement hobby along with Ham Radio. My dad fixed radios and TVs as his hobby back in the 60s. My job was to dig through his grocery sack of tubes and find the one he needed. I also remember going with dad to the drug store with a handful of tubes to use their tester to check them out.
That stand looks sweet holds em firm and keeps them at any angel you want. Solid repair man.
Thanks D-Labs... very convenient tool!
Great fix and info Terry. love the stand also. Thanks for sharing. Learning all the time.. Top job and video..Ed..u.k..😀
I work on old tube radios and not amps, but the information and tips you provide apply. I was so impressed with this stand, that I ordered one right away. Thanks and keep up the good work.
You are amazing. Its good to see how my love for music and my knack for electronics can come together.
Man I cant thank you enough! Its so great watching a professional at his craft!
With all of the recent talk about undisclosed product placement and shadiness on youtube, this is the healthy alternative. Thanks for being a straight shooter on the origin of the amp caddy, and I'll be damned if I don't order one because it looks like it would be really helpful. I've got a pair of BF Bassmen (a 64 and a 65) getting ready to hit the bench this week for maintenance. Great amps, and still a lot of them out in the wild. Help us keep it that way, Terry! Save the Bassmen!
Great video. Thank you.
MojoTone . . .great outfit !.......another great vid from Terry !
The MojoTone stand looks and works great. Having the right stand/clamp/vise/etc. to hold what you are working on makes a world of difference.
You also don't want to make a grab for a live amp on its way to the floor!! Could be fatal! Nice video!
