Fender Super 6G4 1960

I picked up a beat up orphaned 1960 Brown Super 6G4 chassis.
Replaced the electrolytics with Spragues.
Transformers are all original. Put in vintage glass.
Interesting tone cap across the bass pot. It sounds fine on my 5-pretube Pro and Super but not this 6-pretube Super. On the 6-pretube 6G4 here, this cap sucks volume and makes the amp shrill and thin. I removed them from both channels.
Restoration completed with a JD Newell reproduction cabinet, and .
A pair of Weber 10A125 30W speakers. Weber's copy of the vintage Chicago Jensen P10Q.
