Borderline Tremolo

Post by sergio »

Hi all ,I'd like to start a new discussion about the tremolo circuit of the Borderline special amp.

starting from the photos available, we could try to draw a diagram, keeping in mind a few points that I would like to share, and please correct me if I'm wrong.

Tremolo without LCR in circuit
No cathode bias tremolo

Tube pins
pin1: blue wire (probably B+ supply?)
pin2: into shrink blu tube , green and black wires.
pin3: red wire go to XLR and Yellow wire go to 4k7/22uF 50V

pin6: B+ supply from 6k8/22K joint (can cap)
pin7: light brown wire, or so , connected to the central lug pot intensity
pin8: to pin 3 of V1

Thanks
Sergio

It must be a VibroChamp cathode-bias-wobble trem if it's going to pin 3 of V1a but on the 1st stage io. the 2nd stage. Different cap-values and power-supply-nodes......
