Might just need the input jacks need resoldering but it's probably well worth taking off to a good amp tech for a service anyway mate. Even after years of inactivity the tubes will slowly go so they might need replacing anyway.

QUOTE (ibanezkiller @ Dec 1 2007, 11:44 AM)  HEY BOYS... Today i was bringing my guitar from the car to my house and some one saw me. They said they had a fender amp they have not used in years and wanted to know if i wanted it. Im said "what is the catch?" well it seems to need 2 new imput jacks. It buzzes some times but i dont know what that is. I also crackles when turned up to loud. PLEASE HELP. THanks in Advance, Andrew Mead Andrew, grats on the free grab! The input jacks are inexpensive to have replaced by a tech. The crackling is due to either old tubes or dirty volume pot or both. To test the tubes, lightly tap the tubes with a pencil while the amp is on and see if you here an echo through the speaker... if you do, they have become Microphonic and they need replaced. If it doesn't have tubes then it is most likely a volume pot... especially since it responds to turning the amp amp or down. The hum is most likely bad Filter Capacitor(s). These are cheap to replace by a technician and often go bad after 10 or more years. I'd guess a 50$ repair bill (unless you need tubes) and your good to go. Again, nice grab!

I would like to underline the fact that i was "basically exact" which is what I try to tell my wife all the time but she refuses to listen.
