About to aquire a Gemini I

[Doug Olitsky]

No rush, once back after the 15th you can give me the details. Hope your trip is a fun one.


Got amp home last night. Overall its nice. No dolly and one metal foot and metal corner missing. Will have to find replacements. Maybe tubes and more has the correct hardware.

Was the the dolly optional???

I opened it up and all looks good. No signs of stress on any of the components and all the tubes are original and test good (bugle boy and sylvania).

Other than the 'lytics and death cap are there any parts I should change as preventative maintenance? Resistors, caps, etc.

I was going to swap out the green and yellow CDE caps, but should I leave well enough alone if they are part of the mojo.

What about the caps in the tremolo circuit, some have mentioned changing them as they work hard.

understood on the multi sect caps. matter of fact on my G-15 I drilled out the original multi section can to stuff w new caps.











Looks like this missed quality control, look @ tags they were never soldered!!


This amp is 7868 based, built in 1966.
