[Amps] Best Alpha amp

[Paul Christensen]

It sounds like it was a defective drive.  These are common Jackson Brothers' 
drives with two mounting forks.  Two tapped/threaded holes on the outer 
drive are used to mount the dial legends. Changing them is an easy job once 
you find the drives; I've done it twice on the 86 models.
