H Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I can't wait to see what he's done with my wiring. He said it was 'very neat' and 'correct to layout'. But then he said that the 5E3 layout is prone to oscillation at several points :-/ I imagine it will look a little less 'lovely' inside the chassis when he's added shielded wire and gone a little more 'direct' on some of the circuit as he said he'd be doing. Can't wait to hear it though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary0313 Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 H, thank you for the quick reply to my volume pot post. I guess I was reading this post while you were doing that and I just wanted to say I had a similar problem when I had a go at overhauling my Pro Reverb and it was fixed by rewiring some of the grounds and adding shielded cable to grids of first two preamp tubes. Good luck your patient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Howard, I suspect some of that activity may not be amp related? I recall a nice hunk of wood that came to the US to visit recently.

H Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Two hours ago I got a phone call: "Your amp is fixed, sounds great and is ready to pick up." Sunday morning can't come fast enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 The Limey is home and probably the quietest she's ever been There's a low hum as she warms up but nothing more. I only had fifteen minutes to check things out but even with P90s there's no extraneous noise, just sweet cleans and classic tweed deluxe dirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Thanks Pete, thanks Don I've missed this amp over the last couple of months: it's like having a new amp now.
