In fact, i never worked on a valve amplifier. I work only with transistor amplifiers. I'm attempting to repair a 16mm rca photophone valve amplifier. Jane to watch out high volts in it

While the power on, can i measure the different high or low volts of the valves with the positive probe while negative probe attached to the ground of the amplifier.

Really helpful video! Thank you so much for your time! Much appreciated!

I had so much fun doing this class, thanks so much for hosting it Colleen! You and Pat and John were great instructors and doing the class gave me confidence to continue learning and working on more amps. Plus that little Deluxe has quickly become my go to amp. I’m looking forward to whenever the next amp build is, you can bet that I’ll be there! (And thanks again for the Scorpion jewel lamps 😁)

I posted several soldering related videos on my channel recently, including review/teardown of a $45 Harbor Freight soldering station and examining the differences between quality tips and the plethora of cheap, junky tips that have flooded the internet The Harbor Freight "Schneider" soldering station is surprisingly good, a great value for the money, and light years better than what I was using as a geeky electronics-nerd teenager and 20-something in the 70's. I also examined and compared some of the soldering accessories that HF sells, including the solder-sucker that Colleen Fazio was seen using in a recent video. (And of course, I gave her a shout-out in my video). Anyway, there may be info in my videos that some of you will find helpful, but they almost certainly won't be promoted by KZfaq because I didn't monetize the vids, and I disabled all ads and Shorts! editing capability. KZfaq likely won't promote them because they can't make any advertising revenue off of me, but I offer them to you as a public service.

Thank you for the introduction to Rattlesnake Cables. Looking forward to your next video, like always.

Grandpa, what's that spinning black disk at the beginning of the video?

wow youre so hot rn

That’s just the coolest thing ever.

“It’s not about the gear, it’s about the music!” “These are tools for music and art!” Love that!

I wish I could go to something like this. I would die from excitement

In London in the late 70s all we could get were " coiled" cables. Lou Reed used a £5 thirty ft coily cable , he said he wanted to pick up as much radio traffic as possible as it added extra colour to his Guitar sound when he played live...serious. He bought his own spares, no roadies or butlers( Circa 1987)? RIP Lou. Ms Fazio , your video created a " Flash-back" for me and for this I thank-you.

Pete townsend was the first. Actually he was the reason why hiwat started. Amazing amp. The best I've owned. Except 4:23 extremely loud and heavy for stages today. But surely an amazing experience. Thanks for chering.

Ship it to @Uncle Doug for 'repairs'.

I’d do this in a heartbeat if it was close to me.

oh my god. Girl. you did not just put F&T caps in a friggin fender guitar amp. Listen to me girl. listen. Those are f'g BS caps. you need the KEMET PEG high voltage caps or something better than that IDK if they make them in the 450V parts will probably hold up better than this. Listen those F&T caps are garbage they sound okay for a little while but they die so fast and sound like s* fast.

I LOVE GIRLS

Awesome people!Lets get rock n roll..On the road again...

What fun, I wish we had this opportunity in Austin!

I would have liked to have seen more of those Orange amps.

So cool! I’d love to take a class like this one day.

Looks SUPERB ❤

Thanks for sharing this Best wishes Liverpool UK 🇬🇧

Just a simple question on amps if I may...I have a Boss Katana 100 1x12 and when I turn it on it's quiet(No undue noise) and when I plug a lead into it it hiss's , even more when I switch to the "Brown" amp setting , so my question is could it be a bad grounding in my homes electrical wiring or something in the amp it's self. Sorry for being a dumb arse but I'm stuck out in the middle of nowhere miles from the nearest human. Thanks. Edit...forgot to say I've tried different leads...same problem.

Good Stuff... thanks for the post! 😎👍

This is great. I wish I had something like this where I live.

Oh wow. Great job Colleen

Well done! Looks a great group.

So cool!

This is so cool!!!

I have a 1954 5C1 Champ Amp that Lupe built. Still has her pencil signature on the masking tape. Lupe would be proud.

Wish I coulda been there!

👋👍❤️❤️🇭🇷

Solid state amps seem just a little bit soulless to me. Tube amps are ALWAYS repairable. Solid states are kinda like a little more throw away. But by any means don't get me wrong, not all of them are.😅

AWESOME job Colleen! I bet anything that won't be there there last amp build. Probably just the beginning.😮😅

Wow, that class looks like a whole Lotta fun!!!! Awesome! 😀

My Gosh, that Sunn stack!

Brillant !

Dang! Them some good looking pizzas! ....and amps too!

I watch D-Lab and a lot of those channels, and I’m kind of intimidated by the number of changes and improvements there are to the popular kits.

Colleen did they use one of the commonly-available kits, or was it the shop’s?

Ahhh the scent of a new tube amp when it warms up.

Sweet video 😊

They even got to shellac their cabs, nice!!

Wow, it looked like an awesome experience! At some point I have to do one of these classes/workshops. I know Mojotone does one, and Bruce Egnater has done them as well. Had I known about this one I would have tried hard to be there. Plus it made me miss back home (lived in the NY area for most of my life until 7 years ago). Plus that Pizza! OMG, the west coast as well as the south can not make pizza! I've been missing that for over 7 years! And truthfully it would have been an honor to learn from you. Maybe someday! Enjoy your amps everyone who attended! I'm sure it was a blast!

WAIT THEY DO THIS?!

Ive watched all of your videos and somehow missed this gem. Just completed the entire video and its one of my favorite interviews you've done. I grew up in the tape error and so cool hearing the stories. What an honor to get to listen to all the old WB vault tapes. Great job!!

Wonderful!

The many beautiful old devices, I like the shop. I think it is very good that there are people who know about the old technology and can repair it.

Group photo was the best ending possible. Loved this.
