Kadent amp - CL find
Just got this today from Craig's List. I can't find ANY schematics but realistically I don't need one just to re-cap and re-tube it. It's kind of cool and it's a tube amp, the price was right.

Cool find!
What tubes does it use?
Is the PT OK?
A lot of old schools used amps like that for PA or to address the class rooms with announcements.
Sadly most have gone to tube heaven.

Re: Kadent amp - CL find
I don't know, it came without tubes and there are no markings but it's wired like it should have standard 6L6/5881 tubes with 1K screen resistors and 12A?7 pre-amp tubes.
I just got it a few hours ago so I haven't had a chance to look at the components real close yet. I'm a little concerned about the bubbled gunk on top of the PT but that could just be varnish, it doesn't look or feel like tar.
I'm not crazy about the solid state board, I'd like to know what it's for (hence the search for a schematic) but the mini reverb tank is pretty cool.

Yeah, I was wondering if that was a reverb unit.
Never seen that brand before but there were many such companies back in the day.

Re: Kadent amp - CL find
Apparently they made a bunch of pedals but I can't believe I can't find a schematic for this amp. Yet. Still searching.
