Just don't put a white knob on it, or HIWATT Bob will come unglued

the pawn shop amp now has internal pics. What the heck is centered between the filter caps near the long power amp board?

the pics sure bring the $$$$$, of course they help folks like me come off it too!

The owner of the '74 with the weird cap job, purchased a set of NOS RS cap clamps and a recap kit from VHR. Considering this, I wouldn't hesitate to go after either one. A couple small components replaced in a 34 year period is really pretty trivial.

let me know if you go after one, so I don't bid against you!
