*Well...when I worked in music stores, I figured out that I could pull
the output transformers out of the Scotts and Fishers going in the
dumpster from the stereo place and put them in the Fender guitar amps
with burned out ones. That saved the customer money and sounded better
than the factory one. I mean, it's not like curing cancer or anything.


One ot two customers may have appreciated that (if they were vintage
Fender amps probably not, though, as it destroyed any value as a
collector's amp).


Back then they didn't have any collector value. Now of course you can
get perfect repro's or have the original rewound. So you just change
them beck out. I never cut big holes in the chassis or anything. The
most I ever did was drill a small hole or two, which can be filled
in.
