Nice Little Giant from Selmer.. I love these amps!Great condition grill cloth and LogoCrock skin immaculateScrew missing and on the wrong way around…Nice Mullard ECC83 tested goodBrimar EL84 also good!There is an earth connection to the chassisbut no earth at the plug end not good…Decent plug with earth addedInput wire had been lengthened with none shielded wire/ This was replacedInput socket needed replacing..pliot light did not work and needed tighteningNice mechanism to unclip the light. Pilot light goingInteresting, she hummed but no sound… turned out the input coupling capacitor that should have been 4n7 was a 4K7 resistors and was open circuit… looks like a fault from the factory there being a 4K7 in there.. but she must have worked at one time…Replaced with the correct 4n7 cap (similar vintige cap used) Then she sang again!. Check various values of components but no issues found. Back on the right way around and a similar screw used for the missing one.. I needed to drill a hole as there was not one there.. another factory issue from the 60s..Good to go! Lovely Little Giant from Selmer in to gain a 3 pin plug and have a service – get her going..
A few issues found but all corrected and she is singing again! Love these amps!
