I'm hoping that Max has more info on this but to answer your question, Here's a picture of the serial number:

Mike

Thanks Max for that info. I had seen that website before but I had no idea what serial # it was. I must say, your picture is a lot more detailed than the one on Instagram.

Thanks so much. I continue to learn

Max,

Thanks for the pictures. Would you mind letting me know what serial number the top picture is? I don't remember seeing that many Alan Bradley resistors in Dumble amps. I'm sure it is common and I just haven't seen the pictures.

Thanks,

Mike

Richard,

Nice tone and nice playing!

Mike

Thanks for posting this. I always enjoy seeing the pictures of the Dumbles for sale. Can someone remind me what the WX stands for?

Thanks,

Mike

I'm guessing that you have been able to turn it up by now. Any update on how it sounds?

Mike

Looks really good. Is that really a 3 amp fuse in there?

Mike

Beautiful job Ian. Did you start with the Tandy coax and then change to the Columbia because it sounded better? If so, what difference did you hear?

Thanks Brandon. That clears a lot up.

Mike

Ian,

The big question is if you hear a difference with this amp now that is in the new chassis? Does it sound better or just "different"?

By the way, extremely clean and beautiful build (as usual). Definitely a reference build for me.

Mike

It would be great to have a list of dates and different suppliers for the NTE metal film resistors. I Imagin those are trade secrets that will never be released, but it would sure make it easier to find alternatives if we can't find the NTE packaged ones. Sorry Sergio about the new resistors. They d...

Beautiful build! Did you build a new board for the preamp? Looks pretty clean. Looks like you found a blue tantalum capacitor similar to what HAD used. Is that NOS or new stock?

Thanks,

Mike

As you can see, the new resistor (on the right) is very different internally than the NOS one. I'll let the experts decide if they suspect it is metal oxide or not, but it has less turns. One thing is for sure, the new resistors are not built the same as the NOS ones. As far as how they sound, my #1...
