Fender Deluxe Reverb - Troubleshoot, Repair, Match and Bias

Troubleshoot, repair, match, and bias a Fender Deluxe Reverb amplifier with a destroyed screen resistor caused by a faulty tube. Follow along as the technician conducts a visual inspection, identifies the melted screen resistor, and replaces it. Learn about the importance of having the original faulty tube for diagnosis. Observe the process of replacing finals with new old stock (NOS) tubes, and witness the first use of the Hickok 6000 tube tester for a comprehensive tube testing event. Gain insights into voltage checks, bias adjustment, and tube matching techniques. Note that the actual tube current value should be 10mA lower than shown in the video. Watch as the amplifier undergoes hours of testing to ensure all functions are working properly and stability is achieved.
