--------------------------------------
In this video, we'll service and electronically restore the oldest guitar amp I've ever featured on this channel - a vintage, near-antique 1941 National-Dobro Tweed Model 75 which predates VALCO and Fender! This Model 75 came to me in relatively poor shape. It had not been serviced in many decades. Mice had at one time taken up residence inside the cabinet and chassis, and the speaker was dry-rotting before our very eyes. We'll send the speaker off to Tom Colvin at The Speaker Workshop in Fort Wayne, Indiana and even enlist the help of my wife to sew a ripped grill cloth. We'll troubleshoot an issue with no sound and briefly demo the tone. This is a long one, so grab a coffee or a beer and settle in for a fine and important piece of guitar history!
