Remove the three screws holding the eyelet board and the insulating
board. Then you can slide the insulating board out at the transformer
end of the amp. You can now pull the eyelet board up enough to get a
tooth brush soaked with solvent under it. Works for me.

My 68 DR had crackle and hiss in the reverb circuit that wound up being
for the most part caused by the fiberboard. You don’t have to completely
remove it but you do have to disconnect enuf wires from one edge to get
at the bottom, and yes, you DO need to scrub the bottom and the second
board underneath, too. Cleaning just the top just warshes an aweful lot
of the crap underneath.

My 75 VR had a real LOUD ticking in the vibe ckt (not the “normal”
ticking, I mean way LOUD) that was due to contamination of the board,
too. In this case it wasn’t as dirty but had a full assload of wax on
the board, melting most of the wax off with a hairdryer and presumably
evaporating trapped moisture cured that one.

So the basic answer is yes, I’ve seen not the same exact symptom, but
the same causes on both my Fender amps.

What are you using to clean with?

“Tun-o-wash” from Chemtronics. It’s a gen. purpose non-residual cleaner/
de-fluxer that they use in the lab. here at work.
