Those are the high power fenders, or is it the same transformer on both?

This amp also seems to have 2 chokes. I wish i was more knowledgeable to figure this amp out.

:D
Can you take a pic of the bottom of the chassis? i'm sure you could get an answer if you did that, very smart folks around here :)

Thank you for posting all these pics of this rare example.

Looks like it has 60s era Fender Dual Showman transformers. All I see is one regular choke, not sure where you are seeing two? Only other small transformer I see is the Relay power transformer in the chassis.

I've been staring at these pics, and it looks like this amp is using 6CA7's from a music man power transformer?

Aaron

EDIT: Correction, it looks like the second red wire is directly under the other red and blue wires.
But the chassis looks like it has 6CA7 under the output valves.

The chassis says 6CA7, you are correct Aaron, but the amp is running 4 GE 6L6GCs.

Thanks for this redshark. I'm wondering if you have the value of the treble cap, and does the rock/jazz switch have a center detent? A picture of the pots would be cool also.

Redshark, if you have access to this amp it would be useful to all if you could get a series of high-res photos, then perhaps a schematic and layout would follow...

IMO the power transformer visible on these pictures is the L022756 power transformer (Fender Twin, Showman) often used for ODS amps with a "transition generation" chassis.

Cheers,

Max

The rock/jazz switch is a 3 way. Middle is preamp boost, up is rock, down is jazz. I will post more pics. I just replaced bias cap which I forgot about and adjusted the bias to 34 mA. and I'm done servicing.

Martin, I can take more pics but I can't draw schematic because I'm not an electronic tech. Sorry.

Forum members will make a Schematic and Layout if you can snap some more detailed pics of the amp.
