This video features the nicest, completely original 1955 Fender 5E9 Tremolux that I have ever seen. It's the first year of issue for the Tremolux and this one is serial number is 00060, so you do the math. The owner has asked for a concealed (in original cardboard covers) replacement of all electrolytic capacitors, testing of the non-polar caps and resistors, testing of the original Jensen speaker, and biasing of the 6V6 output tubes. Following all the repairs, we will have our traditional audio demo, but at higher fidelity than previous videos. Also, the demo will be done with single coil pickups, just as Leo intended.

In addition, we will open some great Christmas gifts from generous viewers, and have a special Part 2 video showing how to build your own amp chassis stand (with blueprints), followed by a detailed evaluation of a commercially available chassis stand from Mojotone.
