1961 M12

[journeyman]

Nice to see this forum back on line. I hope we can get people posting again. I sold all my previous Ampegsafter moving back to Toronto; an R-12-R, an M12, and a Reverberocket 2. But....I really missed the M12 and was lucky enough to find a 1961 in great shape. The filter caps had already been replaced (bypassed the original can) and it had a new handle and grounded power cable. The trem was weak and it had some funny noises, so into the shop it went. As suspected, some of the 59 year old red Astrons were leaky, so the tech replaced those with some Spragues. Working perfectly now and sounds great. The original Syntox-6 C12R is in great shape and sounds beautiful. Think I'll leave it in. It'll be a while before I can take it on a gig and run it at stage volume, but that will decide the fate of the speaker.
