 After opening up my 5150 first thing that struck me was the build quality and the quality of the used components. It all looks very tidy and sturdy, this thing is built like a tank. First I pulled out the worn out tubes and unscrewed the tube sockets. Then I took out the power board.

 As you can see this mod is pretty invasive, several traces were cut, an 1 Ohm resistor was added and a bias measurement construction with four 10 Ohm resistors was added. I took that all out and restored the board to its original condition.

 ===== Putting the tubes back in =====
-Once the four 6L6GC's got in that I ordered from [[https://www.tonefactory.nl/|Tonefactory]] I popped those in, hooked up a small 1x12 cab and powered up the amp. No jumping fuses, blue smoke or weird sounds so this restoration was a success. Had a rehearsal with McClane that very same night and the revised 5150 stood up way better against the Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier of the other guitarist, the blend of those two now felt like it should, just awesome.
