Nothing wrong with that – but the new joints were insulated with office friendly see through tape. The wires were soldered on to the original snap’s wires. It was replaced with cheapest possible soft headed snap by the previous owner. The 9V battery snap was apparently broken somewhere along the way. I swapped that for new Alps drop-in replacement and it is playable once again. Like most of the tanks i’ve ever had, this one had bad connection on its switch. For being from the early half of the 90’s, this unit is in fair condition. All Soundtanks have 6 figure serial numbers. I’m not 100% sure about the serial numbers and how these tell the exact date, but the metal boxed Soundtanks i have all have their serials starting with 001 and the newest plastic one i have has it’s serial starting with 424. This unit has serial number starting with 107, which suggests that it is early Taiwanese Tubescreamer with plastic enclosure. Ibanez TS5 Tubescreamer from Soundtank series in plastic enclosure, made in Taiwan around 1992-1995 Let’s start out with underrated, yet obvious classic.
