high-plates skyliner (non-hrm) questions

[llemtt]

Altough low-plates skyliners and high-plates classics are well documented, I know almost nothing about high-plates skyliners.

Are there any around? (I think so...)

Are there any know by serial number?

Is there at least one well documented specimen?

Are they just low-plates skyliners with different plates and cathodes values? (I don't think so...)

Skyline retrofitting to older models always implied converting them to low-plates too?

any help on this subject is really appreciated
thanks

Plenty out there...

Including the most famous one of all.....

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, but I think most all of the 90's HRM's are high plate skyliner.

[dogears]

Teo specified non HRM....

I'm no expert, but I remember reading quite awhile ago that this was not a Dumble configuration. He used high plates on HRM amps. The high plate non-HRM done by other folks.

Including me.

Not true.

My Bludo Music Man is an exact replica of a real Dumble Brandon degooped. It is a non HRM high plate Skyline.

As I also mentioned above, the most famous grail Dumble is also a high plate Skyline....

So, not only do they exist, they arguably are the grail....

Do you mean the ultrasound tan? I have always thought it's a low-plates, but if you are talking RF main amp then it's no surprise to me...

Well I think that almost all early 80's ODS were classic eq (150k slope) and high-plates, then almost all of them were retrofitted with skyline eq and a few also got low-plates (think #124).

I am currently planning a classic high-plates build because I don't have any and my current skyline high-plates tentative sounds too bass heavy to me, but I would like also to give the latter another try because lacking infos lot of details were guessed at best.

Mine ended up quite like the #94 schematic, and is my favorite iteration, so far. I don't know if the treble pots on these are supposed to be audio or linear, I went with audio - only because I like to turn knobs up.
