How to work on a tube amp safely?
Hi, I would like to do some soldering on my Scott tube amp and would like to know how to do it safely. Is there a way to discharge the stored electricity. Thank You, Chris |

Thank You, Chris You release the energy stored in your power supply filter caps and it's done by using a specialized lead made up of a resistor of adequate size and value with a alligator clip on one end and a insulted test probe on the other. Never discharge a capacitor strait to ground. It can damage the component. Google "capacitor discharge lead" -- Regards B.H.
