I got a 1342 in for service, anybody have schematic?

Schematic Heaven has a 1333 and a 1344, whats the closest model?

Its been mod'ed with a 6au6, by description it will maybe need tubes and PS
filter caps. Someone wrapped it in real leather, pretty...

Here's one, got lucky on the inter webs.

The one on my bench has been modded to use a 6au6.

The tone control is bit different.

Here's what you got to work with..... oh boy

low volume in primary complaint... new tubes in the power side
and new PS filter caps should cover it, some one tried to talk him into a SS rectifier,
but the increased voltage could cook things without real consideration.
It's a very basic amp so there's only two caps to worry about. It's always a juggle to
repair and improve with out loosing the vintage-ness, its a family member
since god knows when, the only amp in the whole band. Imagine singing through that.

It been modded, the fellow also wants to replace the pots and move
the power switch from the old tone pot..
