And take that EV and put it in a good 1 x 12 cab. You'll be very happy.

I got caught by the same thing, although I hadn't ordered a replacement board.

And welcome to the Amp Garage!

I think the deal was the numbers correspond better for the early years because Leo and his boys rolled out annual updates, and they become more erratic after 1955. Or maybe less necessary - that they realized they'd taken the circuits as far as they could (for what they were after), and their atten...

I'll go with what the others have said. I have both, both are great, but the Deluxe is a Princeton that forgot to take its meds. I'll agree w/ that too. Today there are 10s" that keep up w/ 12"s but back then not so the Deluxe kicked more booty because of the 12" too. The orig gold oxfords in those...

I built a Brown Princeton not too long ago, and really love it. Been wondering how different the Brown Deluxe would sound. They are similar in a lot of ways, so I am guessing, not a huge difference. Any thoughts? I'll go with what the others have said. I have both, both are great, but the Deluxe is...

Thanks for that. My secret weapon is that I'm American. :twisted: Well, actually, I'm from Kentucky, which is almost the same thing. :wink: I'm over to visit my parents a couple of times a year, and usually bring my entire baggage allowance back in strange things - amps, transformers, caps, tools. S...

The main issue I had is that it's virtually impossible to put a dado blade on a European table saw (they're illegal... too dangerous... you could put your eye out... but enshrined in law :roll: ) which makes doing finger/box joints very tough if you're too cheap to spring for a router jig. Ahem. No...

Lumberjocks is great, I'm a member there, but as you said, not much on amp/cab stuff. I went through a year of building a bunch of cabinets, and they all came out pretty well (at least I think so) :wink: The last were better than the first. It's not that complicated, really, if you're used to workin...

Just discovered (thanks to a friend over at the Plexi forums) that the missing 20µF bypass is in the cap can... doh!

Thanks again!

Yes remove the 0.1uF to ground. It's not needed with a polarized AC plug and earth ground, and it is a safety hazard if it fails shorted, putting 120VAC on the chassis and on your guitar strings. The other cap is an AC bypass for the 250 ohm 10W cathode resistor, and its main effect is isolating th...

I have a '61 Jet that's always seemed to be on the verge of being great but never quite got there. I hadn't looked at the insides in ten years (been learning the baby steps of working on stuff and had too many other amps in worse shape). When I opened it up the other day to pull the speaker, I disco...

That's what I was thinking, but it seems to work as it should (voltage divider) across full travel. But I'll check it again, as well as R24. If RV5 is OK, then its likely C11 is leaky - try disconnecting one end of it and see if the bias voltage then behaves. Good luck :) Andy That would make sense...

My guess with the 0V heaters (pins 2 and 7) is that you are reading DC. Flip your meter to AC and you hopefully get a meaningful heater voltage there too. I would keep homing in on that bias circuit, it is certainly struggling. Best, tony Heater voltages look OK, 3.1V AC on 2 and 7. Amazing what yo...

Since the bias voltage is from the same supply, and V5 has a sensible value, there are very few places it could be going wrong - check around RV5 & R24 - maybe RV5 has a noisy / intermittent wiper? That's what I was thinking, but it seems to work as it should (voltage divider) across full travel. B...
