Hi....New guy here...
I have an old 98RT that has been in my dad's garage for years(15+). It was originally mine but it quit working and I just stored it and forgot about it. Back then I was into hard rock and (early)Alt rock and didn't appreciate what this amp is. Now I do. Here's the deal.....#1: it has a sticker inside that says '98RT 568' ...that's all I can find. Any way to date this thing? #2 all the tubes light up and you can hear the tremelo pulsing but no sound....anyone have any insight as to what may be wrong? I plan to take it to a tech to be cleaned up-restored. Are there any issues that anyone has run across with this? ie tubes/parts no longer available....and can it be reved up to a bigger output....i believe they are 15 watters but could be wrong. I play blues, country and roots rock type stuff these days and would really love to have this baby back in commision.
Any help or advice will be deeply appreciated...
