are we counting jess oliver designs? 8) when he left ampeg he started his own version of the portaflex it had a motor lift on the head. the thought behind the design was, by the time the tubes are warm the head would be up and in the play position.

If you are looking for actual ampeg B-15 schematics and dimensions they are all over the web. I'll go hunt and post some links.

click on the schematics link and scroll down to the year you want.
