If you have hum, scratching, random pops and static coming from your M-3 Hammond speaker it may be aging power supply filter capacitors in the AO-29 power amplifier. This electrolytic capacitor kit replaces all the electrolytic capacitors originally installed in the permanent magnet version of the AO-29 amplifier. Requires drilling out and installing rivets on the main filter capacitor. Will also work with the field coil version.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

All parts kits sold by Tonewheel General expect installation by a person with previous practice and skill in the art of soldering, component removal and installation. This person should also be familiar with safety practices and procedures that relate to high voltage tube amplifiers. These are not kits for first time projects.

We don't want your equipment to wind up in our shop, so please work with patience and care. We cannot supply a step-by-step process guide or give telephone/email support for an installation, other than for problems with the kit itself (missing or failed parts, for example).

It is possible to install these parts incorrectly and turn your device (and you) into a smoking pile of used parts. If you would like your amp repaired but feel insecure about proceeding, or have a partially completed project, Tonewheel General accepts amplifier and preamplifier patients on an hourly basis for diagnosis, evaluation and, if needed, either completion or autopsy.
