I've had this Traynor YGL3 Mk3 for a few years now and I've scowered the internet . I feel sure I saw the back of the amp on an album sleave in the 70s, possibly on a stage. It has a 240V mains transformer and MR MR scribbled on the back of the speakers. Who put that "Fender Traynor" badge on the front bottom and why? Who made that bronze brass casting and fixed it on? Now that's a true Traynor fanatic!

The Marshall's long awaited set of valves are now fitted and sensibly biassed. I reinstated the missing EL34 screen grid resistors with NOS 1K 5W Welwyns that look like they've always been there. The light in the power switch is nof fixed too. Otherwise, there's not a single bad component in this all original 1978 mode!
V1 position didn't care for the JJ. It hummed like a hive of bees! A lot of tube swapping and was needed finally a Mullard won the job. The owner is very pleased with the restored bass response and gain and no more chance of red plating or blowing HT fuses. The correct 500mA item replaced the rather hefty 2A one! I wish people wouldn't do that!!! There have been a few problems with the Oldamps website and I have been advised to make some changes to make it more responsive. The old theme apparently had redundant code, and some of the formatting made pages slow to load. Hopefully the changes should improve things. I had to get rid of the headers and re-do the page tops completely. What a faff!
Over the past year or two I've been posting on Oldamps Facebook page. It's a lot easier but means I haven't been updating here much! So, I will be posting new developments on to this new blog then sharing to Oldamps FB page. Hopefully that will make it a bit more interesting to repeat visitors. Thanks for looking! |

Always looking for work fixing your amps. I prefer older non-pcb stuff, but I've had quite a few modern valve and solid state amps lately. |
