Supertwang,
Thanks for your suggestions. These old amps can be kind of quirky but
I really love the sound of those 4x10 inch speakers!
I have replaced the cables - didn't help. I believe there might be a
problem with the rca plugs and I will resolder them today. I read
somewhere that someone who replaced their reverb with a 3 spring unit
believed it caused the tone to degrade - anyone notice a problem like
that?
