Who Knows about the Mesa Fifty/Fifty??

[Tubes In a Hat]

Here's the insides of my Fifty/Fifty power amp. I don't really know anything about what's supposed to be inside this thing, but I just wanted to see if anyone here could tell me anything or recommend any procedures I could/should do.

Clean it... I know...

if you want it to be lighter you could change the power transformer to be a toriordal. You might also mod it so you can adjust the bias.

Thanks

I kinda gave up on this thread. The weight doesn't really bother me, but I'm definitely interested in an adjustable bias. Mesa's got a real racket going with their fixed biases and mesa-branded tubes. :roll:

Just needs some more scrubbing, that bias mod, some new tubes... possibly some new filter caps, and then it should be a solid unit.
