Howdy folks,
Congratulations on the new site Steve its really coming along. I really enjoyed checking out the photos, that is until I checked out the 'hall of rust' and realised that my amp probably qualifies.
I bought a second hand MM 210 HD 'one thirty' a few weeks back (see thread 260) and I am really happy with the way it sounds but the transformers have a light coat of rust on them. I live in a relatively humid climate (Sydney, Australia) and I am concerned it is going to get worse. I would like to remove the amp chassis so I can paint the rusted components to seal them. I've never done this before and I would really appreciate some guidance - obviously I would power it down but is there still risk of shock from stored charge in capacitors? The chassis number 2275 - 130 and the serial number is B002483 and it has the inverter valve.
The reverb doesn't work either so any hints on trouble shooting that too would be great.
thhanks again for a great site.
