HRD conversion to Hot Rod Tweed

Post by M Fowler »

Not much going on with TAG so though maybe you guys might want to know what I'm up to lately.

Another Fender HRD conversion to Hot Rod Tweed "Bluesmaster" design by Steve Aloha.

Remove main PCB and tube sockets/PCB. Insert new Beldon power tube sockets, notch preamp tube socket holes to accept new sockets and make boards to fit existing stanchions. Drill out all pot holes to 3/8" install CTS pots and knobs, jacks etc.

Thanks Mikey, I started off like a freight train but have really slowed down for past 2 weeks :D

Redid the bias and rectifier (HRD) is full wave bridged. :) wired up the tube sockets and now working on four mini switches.
