As long as you have good sounding space...

Cool score on the Tweed Champ! I almost picked one up for $100, but it was bought within SECONDS of being posted on Craigslist.

I've never used bumblebees, either. I have used a ton of Sprague Vitamin Q PIO caps with good results. Along with some old Atlas caps (those things leak like crazy, however). My current amp (made by Randy Fay of Phaez Amps in Canada) has the reproduction yellow props: SoZo Yellow Mustards. They sound just like the Mallory 150s, though.
