I have a friend with a Big Muff who gave it to me to mod. He complained of volume drop when he switched it on. He also wanted true bypass. I was suprised to...
Anthony, It's very "worth it" to add true bypass. The electronic construction on them is still kinda rugged in that '70's E-H way. The box does not have an...
And if I can add my $0.02 in here from my experience playing with old Big Muffs, the first things I'd check are the tone/bypass switch (if it has one) and the...
Thanks for the input guys, this sounds like a routine fix. As far as "trouble finding an accurate value" what I meant was a monetary value; what's it worth as...
I've seen them range wildly. I think I paid $40 for one on eBay because it was just listed as "Big Muff" with no additional descriptors. I've seen them go for...
I had a great time at the Flea Market this weekend. I got to meet Erik (Hello again!)and we had a nice chat. I managed to pick up a couple of deals. A Boss...
Recently aquired an Ampeg v4. I tried to pull one of the original tubes and POP! just like that it busted. I've got a pratice tonight and wanted to play it...
Anthony, I can sell you a matched quad of 6L6's if it's not too late. Actually, I can even if it is too late. Installing a pot to make the bias adjustable is a...
Starving Musician in Berkeley sells tubes, as does Flashback Guitars in Oakland (closed Mondays). Even Guitar Center sells them. Probably no 7027's, but as you...
My tube dealer and I worked the <a href= "http://www.asvaro.org/" >ASVARO Electronics Flea Market</a> in Cupertino last month and had a good day. He sold tons...
... I must say they're doing OK inspite of the shit location. One of these days I'll have to follow through on my plan to help them secure a better venue....
I'm in oakland and am rebuilding a DIY guitar amp project that went bad. Where do you go for power supply and signal capacitors? hammond or similar chassis?...
The signal caps may be had at Jameco, ACE, Anchor, or Excess.Torres Engineering in San Mateo is the only place I know of to purchase power supply caps and tube...
You should also be able to find chassis, high voltage caps, and tube sockets at Halted. Don't know if it's worth the drive though. Jameco does have a few 450V...
Another BADIYEG member and I have been discussing the possibility of holding a swap meet with a musical electronics orientation. The swaps/flea markets that...
This is a great idea! I'm a big fan of Gilman. I would definitely go to the meeting if I didn't have to work in the peninsula that day. Can i send an...
... I would have to concur on all points. I love Gilman, but haven't gone there for any shows in over a decade :( I would definitely try to make it to each of...
Hello everybody, I have a standard file box of Radio Electronics covering a big chunk of the 80s that I must part with because of space. There are lots of ...
... Hi Peter. I'd really like them but don't relish a drive to Novato from Livermore ;) If no one else comes forward then I'll take them and will make the ...
I made my pitch today to the membership meeting at 924 Gilman, and they were unanimously enthusiastic about doing the swap. It was fun sitting in on the...
... Cool! ... Sunday is a good day, as long as it doesn't fall on the first Sunday of each month :) ... Pass out flyers at the ham fests, advertise to...
I'd be totally down for this, and can contribute if there's any organizational or promotional work that needs to be done. A bunch of my good friends are...
Just spoke with the booking people at 924 Gilman Street, and we're on for January 14th. Start time will be 11AM, ending 3PM. Table fee for sellers will be $10....
I haven't been there personally, but you might try 'The Crucible', its a metalworking artist studio in West Oakland on 7th Street. Just a thought. -Windsor ......
In order to help spread the word, I've typed up a page with the basic information about the swap: http://www.euthymia.org/swap/ It's very minimalist right now....
