It is highly recommended (and does not affect the collectability of the amp) to get it converted to a 3 prong plug, and have the chassis grounded properly. However, if the cap of death goes bad and shorts, you now have a “hot” chassis and can get electrocuted if you touch it and something else that is not grounded properly. The idea is that if your amp was humming, switch to the other power line to stop the hum. Switching the “Ground” switch switches between which of the power lines the chassis is connected to.

Since the amp was designed and built before power mains had a ground (three prong plugs), the chassis is connected, through a capacitor (called the cap of death), to one of the two power lines.

This amp wants for nothing, and sounds as good as when it came out of the Fullerton factory, 40 watts of fender tone and a real piece of Fender history, one of Leo's best piggyback amps ! Sorry to see this go to be honest, but needs to be played and appreciated.

The amp is running on a matched pair of re biased MESA 6L6GC str power tubes along with new old stock GE and JAN phillips pre amp tubes.

The amp has been fully overhauled and serviced with the main power caps being replaced with sprague atoms, new capacitors in the driver and bias circuits, but the original blue Ajax tone caps are retained along with the original transformers to give the best fender tones out of this vintage amp.
