thought I had a lead on a good size batch but, as of yet, it hasn't happened.

Re: WTB: original Triad 50246 OT

unfortunately not. I'd even consider a blown example that needs to be rewound.

Re: soliciting input re: resistor brands for my first Marshall build

Re: soliciting input re: resistor brands for my first Marshall build

Well, the resistors changed (brand) only when out of stock in any given period. Pihers for JTM45 are expected. Iskras are later. Nothing wrong with mixing brands. If you use either there will be a good outcome. I have no preference for AB in any position, but you will find the drawing from previous...

soliciting input re: resistor brands for my first Marshall build

I've been reading... and reading... and looking at pictures... and reading some more... here, Marshall Forum, Metro. it's becoming a blur. the intent is to mimic an original amp from a tonal perspective as practicality allows. so... the victim is a JTM45, my first attempt at a Marshall. I may or may...

Re: WTB: dead Astron electrolytics

Apologies if this is obvious to everyone else. I have tried lots of ways to stuff cardboard tubes, with pretty mediocre results. For the past couple years, whenever I am asked to do that, I cut the cardboard lengthwise, then cut the internal metal tube the other direction. Pull out the guts, and us...

(weird, yes, I know) I added my next door neighbor's address to my ebay account and notified the seller but have yet to receive a reply or any tracking info. one of ...

Re: PSA Hammond transformer blowout

I just got a "hinky" message from the seller. suggest a halt on this until such a time as I can clarify.
