Vibro Champ Questions

Joe Z. | Vibro Champ Questions I had the good fortune of picking up a 65 (OJ) Vibro Champ in good cosmetic condition but with a few electronic glitches. Namely, it begins to lose power about after 3-5 minutes. It is also shy on bass. The speaker is a reissue jensen CR8. I ordered a new multi-section cap for the power filters, as well as a few new resistors for the power supply. Aside from the cap can which looks like it was replaced in '74, everything else is orginal. This is my first "vintage" amp, so what is the general procedure. Should I replace ALL the caps and resistors being such a simple circuit? Also, what should I use to re-apply lose Tolex. Lastly, any suggestions to improve bass and mid response? Thanks. Joe |
