Finished rebuilding gibson ga-5

Post by menger66 »

Finished up this ga-5 still can't find correct tolex may just sand and stain used all CC resistors and orange drops, amp is dead quite at idle and roars when cranked up, I used a classictone 15 wattse output transformer and a oversized PT with a 470ohm cathiode R im getting 340vdc on plates, I can run 5881 or 6v6, I have original grill cloth im gonna reuse, bums me out I can't the right tolex.
