I post a similar vid in the "Repair Shop" section, but this one is more comprehensive.
Just a few notes about working on your amp.
1. Even though your amp may have stood idle for extended periods of time, the capacitors still retain enough voltage to seriously hurt or even kill you. (Case in point, I have a 1957 Fender Champ with the 5F1 circuit, Champs are notorious for having a tremendous amount of voltage and this seeming less little circuit can pack enough voltage to kill you. I was told a long time ago by my amp tech, that if I wasn't sure (and you shouldn't be.) to keep one hand in your pocket.
2. Never just start spraying cleaner into the pots or the circuit board, you can still get zapped.
3. Make sure the amp is unplugged. (This kinda goes without saying.)
4. Use insulated tools when available.
OK, on with the show.....
