looking for a Gretsch twin reverb schematic
Does anyone have a schematic for a (edit)6L6 Valco Gretsch twin reverb with a SS rectifier.  I have found some 6162 schematics that seem closeish, but not quite.  The one I'm working on was poorly repaired at some point and suffered some additional trauma.  I can manage without, but a schematic would save a lot of time.  Thanks!

Is the tube complement the same as a 6162?

It is a 6162, just a different variant from the schematics I've found. 5 12ax7s and 2 6L6GC with a discreet bridge rectifier. The 6973/5u4 version is probably close enough to work with, just curious if anyone had this one.  She is a rust bucket and a rat's nest...

Maybe like a Supro S6651?

Thanks Steve! I think this might be the one. I didn't think to check Supro stuff. I worked on a Wards amp a while ago with the same chassis. It had a front panel switch to turn on some Christmas lights. I guess if you go to the trouble to make a jig for a weird chassis shape you're going to use it, but you have to add some extra paint or lights for different brands.
