Decided to attemp this myself, fixing the Supro amp

Mannemarak

Ok, so no hard feelings toward Botteledtone, he did offer to take a look at the amp but I decided to try and learn a few things by doing it myself.
First off, I know the voltage can be dangerous so I am super careful with the caps and all the other components. The schematic I got and what is in the amp currently will make for an interesting exercise. New valves ordered (Thanks Mr Valve). will only install the new valves once ALL the caps have been replaced, and then we hope it does not go poof ? Will post pics as I hopefully go on.

Anyway, herewith pics of what it looks like now... and feel free to give some input, as I have no experience in valve amp at all ?

Some mice/rat/Chupacabra chew marks are visible ?

Looks like something's been eating your capacitors, mate. ?

Looks pretty straightforward. I count six smaller caps and the two big electrolytic cans. I'm pretty sure changing the caps and resoldering all the joints should give you a good chance of success. Power up without valves first, if that goes without incident, power up with rectifier only and finally with all the valves in place.

Those caps do look kind of chewed on. ?

Cool buddy. Good luck with the build. Let us know how it goes...

if you change your mind, call me 8)

Cool man!

Quite an interesting layout you have there! I expect that the tranny on the left wall is a stepdown? Also, quite an interesting place to mount an OT..

Yep, looks very straight forward. Keep us updated on the progress!

Only inputs I have is try and be careful with those cloth covered wires, specially around the transformers. The very old ones' wires do start to oxidize a bit on the inside and become quite brittle. It becomes quite a mission to re-lead those old transformers if they break off.. Also, you might want to get some spray for the pots, might be a bit scratchy.
