I think my Hakko soldering Iron gets hot enough....

Xtian ....I'm willing to bet the problem is on the ground side of the joints where I soldered in the new caps because it didn't have this problem before I started to fix things.

Hello .....Thanksagain ...I tried an extension speaker and it eliminated almost all of the static....so I am going to re-solder all of the grounding points.
While I have the chassis out again is there any obvious things to look at for the Tremolo problem???

Hello....this is great thanks for the quick responses.....the static does increase with the volume....I used ClassicTone transformers for Princeton Reverbs, so they should put out the same voltages right??? ...I will try an external speaker...

Hello....I just replaced the transformers, all the tubes, and capacitors in a shabby old 1968 Princeton Reverb....it sounds great for the most part ....just 2 problems.....there is a buzz (static) in the bass frequencies especially at higher volumes, and, the more the bass the more pronounced the st...
