The amp I am working from is a chassis only of a Faun-era amp that was found in non-working condition in the back of an electronics junk shop. I would not be surprised if it has been monkeyed with. Thanks to everyone who has contributed and especially Torg.

Just as shown in Matt D's switch photo, but input from 10nF to lug 3 of switch and output from lug 1 of switch to volume pot.

Thanks for the help torg. I think my schematic is finally accurate now. My project does not follow the original layout but I really want the schematic to be correct. I'm gonna move forward now.

Take care... Steve

Thank YOU Steve, that you took a time to check my data against errors. Team work, this is what I like about internet forums. To be honest I'm sick of VOX myself too ;) I need couple days off. When I finish with this one I will focus myself on Hiwatt's for a change (I already did), and I will do the "TV Front" AC15 layout at one point - but this won't happen very soon

Thanks again

Many thanks for sharing those layouts Turret!
I've spent quite some time collecting info on the old Vox AC’s but never could find anything that nice (or even close to it really).

Really great stuff!

@Turret:

Thank you very much for your drawings you posted here & on your site, which I used already including the newer drawing for additional Top Boost Kit (Rear panel) made by SteveUK. :)

Hopefully you are planning to do the same for the AC10! ;)

That's what I was afraid of! ;)

By the way - I can't get to your site anymore. Has something changed?

Cheers

Yeah, I'm sorry again. Im just bot very hot about AC10

My website is offline. I had big comunication and bad will issues with past domain/server provider, so Ive killed my pages. They're mirrored somewhere. I may start new bebsite later this year with layouts and cimponent shop under superlead.co.uk domain but right now Im busy with my medic jobs

I will keep adding my work to FSB foruma and here and say something on my facefuck profile if so

thanks

I'm glad I was directed here from another forum over at BYOC, there are a few of us who are interested in the VoX AC15 build but there are no kits what so ever. Ted weber has a version of the AC30 but that's to big for most people playing at home. Turret your replica is incredible and so much work had to got into that that my brain can't comprehend hope you got yours all figured out. Is Sluckey's version verified to use a build as well? I'm going to post this link over at BYOC and tell these guys to join or login to see this work if they'd like to build

I asked BLC amps if I could buy an AC15 chassis/plate and he said yes but not sure if he sells complete kits. Also, not a kit but chassis from Steve in UK on ebay store and metroamps forum.
