Joe posted this to his twitter the other day: [IMG:1024:748]http://i674.photobucket.com/albums/vv106/Steve_P_82/Dumblex4_zpsa525c37c.jpg[/img] Not the greatest picture, but some awesome amps! I think the one on the right is #104, which we have talked about here before.... According to Billy Yates he...
Thanks for the response. I thought the pilot light should stay on, is it normal that it kicked off right away without the tubes installed? It can't be a short because I didn't blow either of my two fuses. There was no smoke, no burning smells, nothing. It just came on and shut off. And I will check...
Does a pair of Brimar EL-34s and 3 tung sol RI 12AX7s constitute $500 in tubes? From what I understand, Brimar didn't even make EL34s, they generally re-labeled Mullard, RFT, or teslas...

I don't know if this is documented as a 1st gen amp. Tony, did you see something that tipped you off to this being a gen 1? For some reason, I love the silverface chassis with the digital-type font. I may have to design one up and have one fabricated.... Damn, another amp I now need to build. Steve
I built a 100W 2nd gen Hybrid a-la jborders layout last winter. Came out killer. Only found 1 minor problem in the layout, there is a slight wiring mistake on the PAB switch. I would up using heyboer iron from mojo, but I used magnetic components twin iron in my first build (#124 clone) and it work...
