Stick up on 6c10s while you can, I have!
Once there gone these amps may be done!
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!😊

Sorry I read Rivera and went to Champ II. If you want to build a Supefchamp you don't need to use a 6C10. It's just three 12AX7 triodes.

Serviced one of these recently and thought it was a pretty hip amp. A local blues artist owns it. Sounds pretty cool.

Antique Electronic has a number of pots with push-pull switches, but they are mostly small diameter units. If I were going to build one of these amps I'd opt for a mini toggles mounted next to the controls.

Here is the layout and the schematic for the amp you have. A Princeton Reverb chassis would work nicely for one of these.

A NYC '80s New Wave fave, even live. Robert Quine and that crowd always sung the praises of the original SC. I stopped caring much about vintage gear but wish I'd kept my little 'last great american amp."

Look at AES/CED... Find the pots and click on "switched" in the column on the bottom right. There are several CTS pots that will do the trick.

I've written up quite a few ideas about this amp over on TDPRI, annalizing the circuit and how it works, the switching, various mods to the original, but most importantly, how to get around the problem of the foot-switch sucking volume from the clean channel when it is connected.
Have a look [url] http://www.tdpri.com/threads/super-cham ... ng.473956/ it may be some interest.

I think I found a replacement pot like that from Weber.
