Not sure if this is what you're after

www.schematicheaven.com has some supro stuff and www.turretboards.com has some info that goes with their kits.

good luck

But I have inside knowledge that this is NOT the amp Page used on the first Zeppelin album!

Just kidding, I just love all the discussions from "authorities" about which Supro amp Page used.

Personally, this is my favorite Supro circuit:

Sweet! Worth every penny of that $125. I love all the old "bargain bin" amps. Even if you come across one that doesn't sound great, they make great modding platforms. But most of them have their own character so different than more common amps.

One of the guitarists that I do work for has this knack of finding old Garnet amps (or stencil amps made by Garnet) for cheap. Last one he brought in for me to check out had the sweetest reverb I think I've ever heard. Not "surfy" like a Fender, darker and subtle, but really rich and hypnotic.

It had a really tall combo cab with a single 12", and filled the room really well. It would only barely go into crunch, but the cleans were just gorgeous.

Clean it up and straight back on ebay with the words "Jimmy Page" attached - then you clean up! Nice find!

Last one that sold on eBay went for $1200.

There's one about to end in three hours that is already up to $810. He might not get as much because he forgot to put "Jimmy Page" in the title.

Clone the cab and circuit and put the original up on eBay. Have enough left over to build a dumble and a wreck.
