Favorite Fender Blackface parts resource?

Post by kgreene »

I'd like to know where folks go for parts supply if restoring a Fender Blackface amp - more functional than cosmetic.

I like to restore the old Fenders.

Here's a quick list of vendors I look through when searching for parts.

Magnetic Components sells a good assortment of repop transformers.

I've not shopped at all these so do your own additional research.

You should be aware that the quality of reproduction parts can vary widely.
Depending on your location some may be more convenient than others, for example, I'm pretty sure TAD ships from Europe.
Some vendors on eBay have poor quality parts and don't stand behind their product, such as 'phone royalty' cell phone parts hawkers.
