I have a 60's AC30 (Serial No. 14384 T). It's been sitting in a cupboard on and off for a while now and since I rarely play 'out' now I was wondering if anyone would be interested in making it their own.
History: it was bought (second hand) in around 1976 from 'Gordon Simpsons' here in Edinburgh. It's not a TB. I used it for many years in pubs/clubs/cabaret etc and it never let me down - ever. After a couple of years in hibernation it developed a 'crackle'. I have had it serviced by 'valve specialists' twice since - at a small fortune. The last guy to service it replaced the proper Vox front material with a brownish cover as the original was a bit tatty as you'd expect after about 30 years 'on the road'm - nevertheless I wasn't best pleased.
Anyway, the crackle is intermittent and I'm not convinced the wiring of the volume pots is correct so it may need a 'genuine' amp valve specialist to make good. I would attempt servicing it myself but my Degree is in Solid State Electronics and not valve technology.
If anyone is interested please get in touch. I'm based in Edinburgh.
Regards
Malc.
