Hi,
Thanks for the replies and it all makes sense.
As I said I’ve never seen any ‘stood-up’ components, however I’d heard about it. Mind you It’s got to be 40 years since I repaired Fender amplifiers in anger, and I could well have forgotten seeing this
I’ll tidy up the repair and fit a small piece of tag strip to anchor the floating connections, but still insulating it from the eyelet.
The electrolytic capacitors will also need replacing, although they are working I feel it’s prudent.
For an amplifier made in 1964 it’s in a surprisingly original condition with original transformers etc.
Regards
Terry
