MODEL T REPLACEMENT PARTS
« on: October 31, 2006, 02:24:01 pm »
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I COULD FIND REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR MY MODEL-T REISSUE...THINGS LIKE TUBES ETC......

ALSO IF ONE TUBE DIES DO ALL 4 HAVE TO BE REPLACED?

THANKS

as a matter of fact not only do you have to change all power tubes-you must change out all pre amp tubes-capacitors-transformers and any and all wires, screws and anything else in there :wink:

(ummm...of course NOT!)

Obviously - why use a hot glue gun when contact cement or silicone rubber would work much better?

I use chewed up bubble gum. Bazooka Joe for the power amp tubes and Wrigley's Spearmint for the Preamp tubes, obviously. Just stick the wad under the tube and smoosh into place.

To answer the original question....

Any music supply store / catalog worth its salt has the tubes you would need.  Brand, new or NOS, and the like are purely personal preference.  Since I don't have a re-issue T, I can't tell you what I prefer anyways :)
