Re: noob questions about EH-150's/185's

So, I'm still trying to find an EH-185/150 clone. The good news is that both Elektra Amps (which look amazing, and I've corresponded with the guys behind it, who are super cool), and Nocturne Brain (with their Moonshine '39) are making a model designed to be similar to a 185/150. Elektra is based in...

Also, he indicated the field coi...

noob questions about EH-150's/185's

I've got a couple questions that the brain trust here might be able to answer. I've got three Gibson EH amps, a 1936 EH-150 (type II), an EH-160 (the bizzarely low output AC/DC version), and a 1939 EH-150 (type I - transitional model, it's actually stamped EH-150). The 150 is pretty fragile, so I do...
