Upon getting it a number of years ago (secondhand) I sent it off and had the tube sockets (that had the EL34’s permanently soldered in) replaced with conventional ones and had bias pots installed. If I remember correctly, shortly after getting the thing, I had a problem with it that prompted me to have this done – but I prob would have had it done anyway. Who solders tubes to a circuit board?!?!? Anyway, since then I have had no problems with the amp though I don’t use it a ton – or at least not nearly as much as my AMC 2100.

Thanks for writing-

Thad
