Relic Amps

We service and build vacuum tube guitar amplifiers. Our product is great tone, backed by customer satisfaction! (North West Coast of North America.)

These amplifiers are built to order (approximately 4 weeks), but on occasion we will have 1 or 2 ready to ship. The term "relic" as defined by the world dictionary:

Just starting on a new project, a Sansui HF-V60 tube monoblock dating from approximately 1956. It's had invasive surgery, and requires a full rework before powering back to life. Note the resistor lead floating in space in the lower left part of the image. As found image below...

I recently came across a couple of 65 Fender Deluxe Reissue amplifiers requiring work, and decided to update them with custom designed hand wired tag boards... A bit time consuming, when all was said and done, a work of love for sure, but they sound brilliant now.
Some pictures of the finished amps, with images of the new tag boards and wiring. The last 2 pics are; one of the original non working printed circuit boards removed from the chassis, and a bare prepped chassis ready for upgrades.

I've just completed updating and refreshing a pair of PYE HF25 amplifiers made in the 1950's.
Just FYI...
Shortly after posting a link to my website with details on the amp updates in a Facebook group, the site came under attack. My hosting provider requested I delete the links on Facebook.
