#25 old Fender Champ rebuild

The light was fading, but got a shot just after tuning her up. She sounds very good. No tone change however. My bugaboo. I wired her like my working tone pots, but no luck. I may have fryed the cap as i soldered it close to the body of the cap. Maybe those long leads are there for a reason...

    Thanks Uncle John, I like the little black ones too. They seem to work in the tight space. I'll have my electronics open again tomorrow. I need to tweek the fit until my cover sits down flat. Now it has to be forced down. I'm going to work on my metal bridge saddle connection. It sticks out a bit on the right and could be soldered better. I bent the wire sharply at the joint and might have broken the wire there. Alway modifications after first assembly. On this model, i'll be able to pop the lid without taking my strings off! Imaginethat...

    Good photo and I still like Mr old and new.  Ha, you had all those knobs to choose from and you went with these simple blacks..  Well, it works nicely.
