Gibson Discoverer

I have a handful of these to restore for a customer and need info. All three are blond. One is a discoverer reverb the other two are gibsonettes I believe. Anyone familiar with these. The DR uses 6dm8 tubes.

The Gibson MAster Book is on Schematic Heaven. it is a huge file - 177MB - but it is a good collection of Gibson schematics. If yuo are not aware, Gibsin was notorious for changing the innards of their amps without chnaging model numbers. I have four different versions of the GA15, three were hand drawn because the amp was not what it appeared.

other than schematics, what info do you need?

You kinda hit the nail on the head. I'm holding four of these now and no two are identical. Thanks for the tip. I'll post again if I have any more questions.
