Tube Amp Archive

Thanks, appreciate the help

Hey, been a while! My login still works! Could use a little help. There is a low frequency hum, so amp needs new filter caps, according to Dave Friedman (bad batch). I can send it to him, but that’s shipping cost and sounds like he’ll charge me, and there’s a great tech here in Dallas as an option. ...

We have already posted in other threads that Keith Urban bought one of John Mayer's Dumbles because John told him why do you pay thousands on guitars but go with cheap amps; Keith took the bait and now running through that Dumble. https://tubeamparchive.com/viewtopic.php?t=22351 Mark I thought he d...

Nice work! And sounds like you're fairly local.

Thanks Mark...only problem is it's an online deal, so no test drive available. Contemplating a roll of the dice!

Anybody else, thoughts?

Thanks guys...it's $850 with headshell and no tubes. Seems fairly reasonable.

Hey Guys...I'm not a builder but hang out here for some of the great knowledge and cool amps for sale.

Check out the AO 39 chassis. I just repaired a simple 18 watt build in that chassis. Looks like a pretty easy build.

Ha! Yeah, sure don't need that kind of firepower...a smaller amp would be better, thanks!

Hey Guys- Stumbled on this...would this be a cool (and cheep!) platform for a guitar amp? Ebay: 270924548518 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-Hammond-4-6V6-Tube-Amp-AO-15-B-Hammond-JR-20-Tone-Cabinet-Amplifier-/270924548518?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item3f145c89a6 I guess I'd have my tech do wha...

Thanks again guys...I did get a chassis pic with the PS installed, looked ok.

I made the plunge...I'll follow up after it arrives. I really appreciate the advice.

Glen...dig your CD.

Thanks guys...really appreciate the help.

I'm not a tech/builder, so I'm looking for a little advice. Thinking about buying this, Pacific tannys, etc...any thoughs on how this build looks? Thanks.

Thanks guys...appreciate all the help.

Thanks Tom...one does have a "JAN" on it. I saw that auction. From other guys I'm hearing possibly Siemans/RFT. edit: That second site is great, in one of these I see an "8" inside, the other a "9". At the other end, a Siemens valve will often have a one or two-digit number embossed on the glass bet...
