The Amp Garage

Honestly guys, he's responding to folks saying that he is "buying up all the vintage gear" which is such a preposterous suggestion. I've seen him say it a few times, if you're upset that he is buying up a 'burst or a Dumble, he will give you first dibs on it (I'm paraphrasing here...) :D I personall...

I have one of these transformers and it runs 460V on the plates. #183 has the same transformer and was documented at 462V on the plates. Slightly higher than a Twin transformer

Just throwing some stuff in my Mouser cart and found that they won’t have the trusty 166F12C 12v transformer for about a month. Plugged the spec’s into the search tool and came back with the Triad F-216X. Everything matches up except that the Triad is not CT’d. Does that rule this model out or is i...

Piher?

Totally makes sense. I was wondering about those F&Ts, never seen them in any amp from HAD.

Always spot on with your knowledge

Absolutely not

With some help from AI, we might be able to reverse the b/w filter. This is just with a free tool so I'll keep trying with others and Photoshop neural filters. Or you could go the other way and take a photo of a resistor and b/w it to see what comes close. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Very cool! We could prob...

This amp looks like it may have started life as an Edge signature 5E3, but that's just a guess The pics I have seen of the Edge Deluxe only has 2 inputs. This has 4 inputs. I also would have expected the tube chart to have something on it denoting it as an Edge model (unless HAD reprinted the tube ...

Great catch on the output couplers both of you, I hadn't noticed that. I did see that he dropped the last filter on this amp though. Dr D, you should build one of these. I love mine You will be the death of me! LOl. I do have a donor amp that I could use. Tell me more! I take it that it is really a...

Pulled some pics before it gets sold or taken down:

Great! I think you'll be happier with the end result.

No specific reason for the #124, I could have picked any of them really. If you are not married to the #124 Low-plate classic I would strongly suggest you go with the #0124 Low-plate Skyline https://ampgarage.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=5719 . Once you have a working amp you can always change con...

Hey Brian, I don't think anyone is mad at you. If anything, I see concern for your safety while building this amp. Hopefully we can get you safely to the end goal of building one of these amazing amps. I would strongly advise against buying parts (or working on the amp) late at nights...ask me how I...
