"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."
 
 
I would definately recap the entire amp. It will make a pretty big difference ;-) The value usually drops when you retolex the amp so if you ever want to sell it I would advise against it. If you plan on keeping it then run with it! (ha, ha)

Joe, I'd recap the amp first and I think you'll be surprised at how the bass and midrange will react. If you still want to mod it after the recapping then just hollar! I have some cool tips and I'm sure everyone here does as well.
