Mystery ODS Tube

[UltraHookedOnPhonix]

Came upon this picture of a 50W EL34 ODS.

Something caught my eye next to the power transformer. Something that looks like either an EZ81/6CA4 rectifier or a 03C/VR105 voltage regulator tube.

What do you guys spy?

Also, I read somewhere that it uses Mercury Magnetics iron. Wonder which?

Slightly to large for a 6ca4, I'd hazard a guess at a cap-can of some sort but my eyes aren't the best. Strange place for a can anyways.

[Hotrod Ford]

that is a can cap

[UltraHookedOnPhonix]

that is a can cap

I think you're right but like tonelab2 noted, that's a strange place for it. Usually it's seen placed in front of the preamp board near the pots and since this in all likelyhood has the precision power supply, I wonder which cap in the dropping string is taken all the way into the corner of the chassis. Hmm...

Looks to be about the right size for a GZ34 / 5AR4 Rectifier

And it is in the right spot

I don't believe that amp is a Dumble. The back panel says "OD 100W" on the far right, yet only sports 2 power tubes. Also, the panel "paint" just doesn't look right to me.
Or, I could be wrong......

I think you are right, normally it would have DUMBLE next to the footswitch jack. Maybe that is a funk chassis

Here's the front. Looks real to me.

You can clearly see it says OD 50W on the back panel.

That is the runny krylon amp that was up for sale a couple of years ago down in the southeast US Dogears may have more information.
Probably is the REAL DEAL with a rectifier

Why would a Tube rectifier have a shield? they run awfully hot to defeat any possibility of convection cooling, My guess it that it is the first stage filter cap, looks like a Mallory Cap can to me.

Umm, my chassis are quite a bit nicer than that, it looks like a real Dumble to me

Make-n-Music had one with the krylon looking plates for sale back in 2000.

I wasn't being disrespectful. I have seen that amp before (now after seeing tthe front panel). I think over at Bill or Ron's sites.
