This month's 1/4 page color ad:

CHOOSE YOUR WEAPON! -- Mercury Upgrade Kits are now available for both the Fender Champion "600" and the Epiphone Valve Jr. (combo or head). Be prepared for a serious upgrade in tone quality. Our upgrade kits will change the way you think about guitar amp tone -- forever!

The kits were originally developed for Mercury dealers to demonstrate the value of good vs. bad transformer designs. They feature Axiom®-ized power, choke and output transformers. Each kit includes photographic step-by-step instructions, plus everything you (or your amp tech) need to modify your amp. Foreign voltages are also available upon request.

Special thanks to amp designer Alan Cyr for his stellar work on this project.

Radiospares announcement:

The original Marshall- and Vox-transformer brand Radiospares, is now a registered trademark of Mercury Magnetics. We have long been the source for clones of the original (and hybrid) Radiospares, but now your vintage-style amp transformers will come adorned with the original logo.
