so I bought this crappy old Ampeg Gemini 2. the guy wanted four hundred bucks on Craigslist. I emailed. I said I like Geminis but yours is in really bad condition. I asked if he would take 250 I had nothing to lose. He said it works fine and that he would do 275.
so I left work and drove the 50 miles to try it out. it did sound good. the vibrato was a little weak but the reverb was there. after work I gutted it and brought it to the carwash. I sprayed it with Easy-Off oven cleaner and I scrubbed a little bit. then I blew it off with a high pressure hose inside and out.
Looks nice in the collection now.and I'm very happythat I can share these pictures with the other Ampeg fans... but I had it cranked up past 11 last night and I blew it up
so now I'm learning how to fix amplifiers LOL
rasy-Off oven cleaner for barbecue grills is great for cleaning the blue check Ampegs. I sprayed the grill cloth too. it really pulls the dust and cigarette smoke out of the blue check. even on areas you thought were clean. I left it on for a full minute. you could probably go longer. there were no signs of damage from the cleaner,I was just playing it safe. within seconds the dust and smoke started bubbling off the tolex. the grill cloth held up surprisingly well under the pressure of the hose at the carwash.
