Musicmaster repair

[maxkracht]

I hadn't heard of these so I thought I would share in case anyone is interested, also use that excuse to complain about local techs... I don't know of any other fender with an interstage transformer doing PI duties, or 6aq5s, or the cheap kinda tube sockets. Date stamp valentines day '72. Amp was recently "serviced" by a music store who sold the owner a new speaker to solve the noise issues. Power cord strain relief was missing, cord pulled through the chassis, cabinet strain relief was incorrectly installed, and the amp came without a mains fuse! Also, a champ tube chart taped to the cab for some reason. Inside, filters visibly blown (300v caps 295v b+), everything dirty and loose, normal old amp problems...
