[Harp-L] Caps

[SONNYTONE@xxxxxxx]

Just to be clear, I understand financial concerns and why some may need to  
go a reissue route, so will do what I can to help. I just stepped out of the  
reissue arena, modding, etc., as last year I had at least 5 excellent sounding  
amps, reissues, concerts, whatever, pricing from $100 - $1500 fully done, 
point  to point kit on one, and Every person that came by to test them ended up 
buying  the 410. Their logic was it will always have value, even if one of the 
modded  ones sounded close, was never an option for them, they all bought a 
410. So I  stopped trying to fit into a price range. There are 9 coupling (tone) 
caps where  I use paper in oil, on a reissue they will usually be orange 
drops. Many bassman  clone builders will also use Mallories, same difference. In 
this particular amp  caps make a big difference. There are new paper foil caps 
like Jensen,  Sozo, I happen to have military grade ( higher quality ) NOS 
from the late 50's  and early 60's, not one has had a smidge of leakage due to 
glass casing it has  been sealed in. Orange drops, yellow astrons, are just 
pieces of metal  polyesther with two wires coming out of them. Read a description 
of a Vitamin Q,  will give you an idea of what we use. 110 extremely happy 
owners can't be that  far off, and every one has owned tons of amps or has tried 
them. Good luck, will  be happy to help.
