Tweed cabinets?

Is this in Sams? Do you know the number?

4 vehicles, I replace car batteries every 5 years no matter what. You could have a dead cell so voltage would be low but still have lots of current. It would...

That's only 1997. If the amp has been in almost constant use and there are no sound problems, leave them. If it has been sitting for years, yes change them...

The 390k is just a bleeder resistor. I don't know if i mentioned it, there is not a lot of room in those chassis. You would be best off to build it first...

First Tele i built a few years back. Think i have 7 now and 6 i built. I can't remember all the specs, ash body (northern, it is a tank), maple neck with...

Just remembered , you can take apart a dead 9v and make your own.
Here's some on Amazon with the hard plastic.

Battery snaps.

Good luck, most Chinese manf stuff are really thin wire. The only good ones i got were from one of those electronics surplus outfits...

I have seen many rheostats that actually go to zero. Not in a guitar though....

[mozz]

Voltages are high probably because the original transformer has 110v primaries? I'd have to look. I may also have some .1 or .2 ohm resistors in the filament...

[mozz]

Exactly. If this is the bottom of the board, and you try to unsolder and pull the component out from the top, you are gonna have problems. This is a old Western...

I've had a few microphonic 6sn7's in guitar amp experiments but maybe they won't do that being used as a cathode follower?

[mozz]

Still a bit steep when you used to pay $175 plus ship. Another guy from Reverb told me , "sorry, i don't have any cabinets". Any companies who show...

[mozz]

Sent a few email message on Reverb, one guy said reverb was not answering his emails so he stopped selling cabinets????? I have no idea whats going on there....

[mozz]

Since John Mergili is no longer making tweed cabinets, i need a new source. He used to make me tweed, any color tolex, odd cutouts/baffles etc. Prices have...

[mozz]

I think the lore you speak of is backwards, vol have been linear on cheaper guitars for a while, hence bedroom players. But, it's personal preference so i...

[mozz]

I question why the use of linear pot for the tone. Personal preference?...

[mozz]

Not sure how much range you will get with the 270k pot but easy enough to tweak. I do have a habit of stealing small parts of schematics of similar tubes,...

[mozz]

TV tubes won't be hard to find. I use them all the time because i sort of get tired using regular old schematic. Sometimes it's a 1 to 1 replacement with...

[mozz]

Memory loss. I guess i used the 270k so i didn't overdrive the phase splitter? I often go back and look at things i made years back and wonder why i did some...

[mozz]

80 is a 5Y3 with a different base. The 2A5 is a output tube. 7A5 is a output tube. The 83 is used in a lot of tube testers such as Hickok. The 6ab4 is a guitar...

Are the cathodes grounded or is there a resistor there?
