Maton Super Twin refurb

[DrNomis_44]

The amp turned up tonight and let's just say it was an interesting sight.

One of the filter caps is missing, a couple of resistors show significant heat damage and there are a number of wires swinging in the breeze.

The thing that startled me most is that quite a bit of the wiring is 0.4mm solid core telephone wire, from 200pr cable for those who are familiar.

Not a big deal to fix but a major surprise, my first amp build was an AC30 clone back in 1965, I worked for the then PMG and had access to anything I wanted but did use proper hookup wire that was fit for purpose

Can you post some pics of the amp chassis?, you might be able to order replacements for all the filter caps, and the other caps from this website:

They also stock all sorts of bits and pieces related to guitar amps as well as some nice cloth covered hookup wire, typically used in valve amps.
