Lovely looking but 2nd knob broken and all looking a bit unloved
Strange rear laminated panel… original one long gone?
Extra vents on the front
Vents on the side (part of squeezing 70 watts from a 50 watt design
Some of the 100K load resistors replaced
Well this explains why she had issues running..
interesting speaker jack sockets
Rectifier
Carboard helping insulate the pilot light
Caps all looking good (not the cardboard covered ones.. these tend to last a bit longer)
2 more load resistors have been replaced
As with a lot of bassmans..2 unused wires to clip off
Screw stopping the on off switch sitting square.. sloppy |CBS build
broken knob…
Some repairs required to the case toltex
Tubes all tested good and worked fine
Reglued Tolex
All back together and biased up and sounding very loud and proud, lovely amp! Replaced the broken knob with a music man knob I had and put it in the Master volume slot
All cleaned up and new knob replacing broken one Nice 70s Bassman 70 head that has been in a damp shed for 10 years… simple service required and one fault found (wire come adrift…) Sounding great now!
