Question:
Will you guys and gals please share your educated, or hard-learned, or innate electrical common sense and offer your suggestions for essential rules of safety for musicians buying vintage amplifiers?
Answer:
Depending on the sound you're looking for, there are many vintage amps out there with a transformer, e.g. Fender Champ, Blues Junior etc. Adding a 3-prong plug to any appliance won't assure your safety on stage. Who knows whether the mains outlets in the club you're gigging are correctly wired or even grounded at all? As a rule, I would never advocate the use of any amplifier without a mains transformer.
