Works like a charm. Perfect for fixing old Fender LDR "roaches". Make sure to check which side is which.

Very weak tremolo before installation. Works great after!

This is the second LDR that I have purchased from Antique Electronic Supply and it, again did not disappoint. This is the best and only solution that I have found to replace a defective original Fender LDR/neon light combination used in Fender's vibrato circuit. These work great and I have noticed that this LDR has both ends of the black heat shrink encapsulation to prevent external light as well as any contaminants from entering.

Great part, larger than original in my DRRI but works fine. I still had the ticking after I installed it. After reading a lot of posts on various websites I came to the conclusion it could be my wires. I opened up the amp and removed the guts so I could hear the tick and buzz as I probed with a wooden chop stick. I moved each of the blue wires on the different tubes and found the culprit and the ticking stopped. Hope this helps someone. Be very careful if you try it.

I put one of these in my 65 Deluxe Reverb reissue. It quieted it down considerably. I think I'll also add the .01 mfd cap for good measure and be done with it (as per The official Fender solution (Service Bulletin number 9). I am glad I went ahead with this. I had repaired a few vintage Fenders but I wanted to try it on the reissue and it worked for me. I hadn't seen anyone comment on this so I wanted to share with anyone interested.

Installed easily in my silver face Vibrolux Reverb. Fixed the weak vibrato and now I have a strong throb like new.

Perfect, fits like a charm. With DHL express, it was not too expensive in shipping to Norway, and the 2010 Fender Deluxe Reverb Reissue 65 vibrato works like a charm again ??
