Now the temperature is suppose to drop to 25 below which is normal for January we have had it easy this winter.

No wonder you build so many amps, you're stuck in the house 6 months out of the year!!!

you have to take gibson serial numbers with a grain of salt they had some over lap and questionable book keeping over the years. You might have better luck basing it off of features and then roughing in the serial #. I have a '68 specs early '69 goldtop deluxe with P-90's I thought was a 70's produ...

Yea, I'm about done with winter already, I had a bad feeling that this was gonna be a bad winter for us, and it's not disappointing us...

Hi Brucep07, Here's a link to a website with IMO rather accurate information concerning vintage guitar specs and dating. The link should lead directly to the Gibson solidbody section: http://home.provide.net/~cfh/gibson5.html Cheers, Max Yea, there is some good info on that page, unfortunately I ca...

So that kind of blows my theory that any of the pots are original... Wonder how accurate that article is? Is it possible that 900,000's also carried over into early 73?

I have what I believe to be an early 70's Les Paul Deluxe that I'm trying to get a mfg date on, was hoping someone here could tell me what to look for. The serial # is 6 digits in the 900,000's, it has "Made in USA" on the back of the headstock, has volute, 3pc mahogany neck, pancake body with a ver...

I don't see the Liverpool in any of those pics

Lots like this come up on ebay all the time, I have never been able to convince myself to take the chance. Personally, I would only be after "common" tubes, 12ax/au/ay7's, EL84/34, 6L6, 6V6, rectifiers, etc... Don't definitively see many of them from the pictures shown. Seems like most of the "Lots"...

Thanks for the reply. I have that information, but I just noticed that the Airbrake III calls for two adjustable resistors and mentions a footswitch. How is the footswitch wired in? (That would be cool, if it works) On the one adjustable resistor that has only one clamp - where is that one suppose ...

I'm a newbie, so forgive me for adding to this thread that appears to have annoyed everyone :lol: I would like to build this attenuator and I believe I have found most of the information I need and parts lists. Can anybody tell me the difference between the II and III version? Is there any layout/s...

Just to add to my earlier post, mcmaster carr PN 93920A170... 50 of them for $7.50... same size as the switchcraft S1029 but 1/3 the price...

Hoffman sells the correct fiber shoulder washers. I think the correct keystone part numbers are... 534-3069 shoulder washer 534-3222 flat washer Look em' up, pretty sure those are the correct ones. I got the measurements from the keystone PDF and just ordered the same size ones from mcmaster Carr ca...

Black and white are the primaries, orange is shield? That's my guess...

What a great idea, easy way to hear tonal differences from 6N2P's to 12AX7's... This may be the basis for me to do a 2 bottle rocket...

Agreed, I can also use regular rosin core solder at a much lower temperature that the Kester no clean...
