Hi everyone
well I replaced all the caps including Electrolytics . replaced 3 bad tubes. and fired her up and she plays beautiful. Only problem is the bass switch doesn't do anything. tone works perfect. Checked connections all good. Looking at it I notice there is only one connection used out of the 3 posts on the base switch. And on that one post it goes to ground through a .006 cap and goes to the switch through a condenser or resister. (brown square ceramic disk) Seems like there would have to be another wire connected to it to work as a reostat. CAn anybody shed some light on this problem?? Oh yes I couldn't check either # 41 tubes. I assume they are good. Could one of them being bad have anything to do with the base not working?


Thanks for any Help
Bob

Those are details better left to the ones who know. Maybe you disconnected the wrong end of the wire.RodB — 06:22 PM
