Re: Jim Kelly amp,anyone fimiliar with these? Steve,Bob, Thanks for your help! I did get a reply from Jim,and some of his suggestions. The problems were pretty much the same as you'd find in a fender,as Bob was pointing out. This amp had 3 bad 12Ax7 tubes. It also needed the reverb tranny.   And dc on the volume controls,,which also was a bad tube causeing it. So its all going now.   the voltage did drop some on the 6v6s when i got the good tubes in the amp. But still these amps run very high voltage on those 6V6s..   Since all these tubes were the ones that were stock tubes that came with the amp. Jim suggested   """ I recommend   NOS Phillips or Sylvania from Lord Valve."""   I'll have to order those,its just the guy was needing the amp for this holiday weekened.   I matched up some NOS i had,and it should be ok till he can get the other tubes for the amp.   I've never been in one of these amps before,never even seen any in this area.   Jim said he'd send me a schematic for the amp. it may help if i ever need to work on it again.   its a combo,with a 12" celestion sidewinder     I didn't care much for the gain boost sound,but its not bad with just the straight amp,with a little gain.     Thanks again for your help.     Richie
