Vintage Vox AC302 Amplifiers
Posted: 12 Apr 2018, 14:48
Hi Guys
I wonder if you can help me
I have two vintage Vox ampifiers
1. Vox AC30 Guitar amplifier (JMI 1964)
2. Vox AC30 Top Boost (Dallas Arbiter 1974)
I have had static and low grade interference problems through the speakers
It seems to emanate from the volume & tone potentiometers
These are rotary potentiometers and are totally enclosed with small square holes cut near their bases
I have read literature about spray cleaners with & without lubricant like Deoxit D5 & Deoxit D100 and the DEOxit linear pot cleaner, but unsure what the best cleaner for these vintage amps would be
I have replaced two volume controls but don't think these are bad enough to replace yet
I would truly appreciate your advice and recommendations please, as I do not want to destroy them as one is 40years old and the other 50 years old
Kindest Regards
Colin Wade
