Death of a dead Death Cap.
Same goes for your little friends, the non-polarized two prong outlet and the even more reprehensible, so called "ground switch". Y'all just tried to kill me one too many times. You need to go and your little friends can just sit useless filling their respective holes and make way for a proper 3 prong grounded power cord.

Just now
Recapped, serviced and ready to rock. This amp, previously owned by the legendary Pete Carr of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section is a Music Man HD 130. Two channel, unswitched, solid state preamp, tube power amp featuring a full 130 watts of power into an 8Ω load. You just gotta love any amp who's schematic has a warning statement "CAUTION: 725 VOLTS PRESENT".
Unbelievably clean cleans and ungodly loud, as in rearrange the furniture in your house loud. I had the discomforting pleasure of testing this amp at full volume in my 1000 sq. ft. cinder block facility here on the "Alley of Industry" in Holly Hill, Florida. My ears only rang for a couple hours afterwards and while hopeful, regretfully, the police never arrived as I'm zoned light industrial here. Rock on!

I had a collection of amps from Pete Carr, session musician at Muscle Shoals Sound Studio, come into the shop. Pete's discography reads like a Who's Who of 70's and 80's hit makers.

I'm questioning what to do before putting them up for sale.
The amps are all Music Man One-Thirty's and Sixty-Five's.

These are Pete Carr's amps were talking about. (Check his discography on his Wikipedia page!) Should I hold off on just replacing stuff wholesale? What about general crud, biffed up k***s and general tears and scuffs in the Tolex?
I can easily rework all this and make them sound great and be shiny and new looking, but should I?

The FishDrizzle™ MRCP Available on eBay.

The MRCP has a 20x40mm speaker with 4 pin connector, green power LED, red HDD LED, a slightly recessed reset button and power button. I recessed the reset button so it can't be easily bumped but still easy to work with intent.

Still wiring switches and LEDs from scratch for your & projects? Make life easier and try some of these! They save time and make proto boards neater.

Tired of wiring up RGB LEDs and their support resistors?.

project wiring more of a chore than the coding? Try some of these! Current limiting resistors for the RGB LED already in place and each color is isolated for greater flexibility!
