Interesting that it is serialized #0011 but is the 3rd (or 1 of 3?) Winterland. No clear pics of the internals or transformers and tubes.

Does anyone happen to know the type and model of switch that Dumble used for this Winterland? They are different from the slide switches or toggle switches.

[martin manning]

That type is called a Rocker Switch.

Thank you Martin. Do you happen to know what model of Rocker switch it is as well? I would love to use these switches for a build of mine.

[martin manning]

Sorry, no idea.

Thank You Gentlemen! What cool looking switches. I’ll give these a shot.

Hi, I believe that rocker switch linked above is the right size and style, but it is a momentary switch. That will not function correctly for you. I am not sure where to find a modern production switch that looks like this.

I have no affiliation with this seller or knowledge of the switches listed here, but something like this might work:

Thank you Dan! I typically build Marshalls, and amps like this Winterland or an ODS are what I'd like to try. What strikes me about this Winterland is that Alexander seemed to use even specific slotted screws for most of his early creations. I have been to my local Home Depot, Harbor Freight, and Lowes, but I can't seem to find the right ones. You guys have any recommendations for these? What I appreciate he did, and what I do with all my own builds is to make sure the entire thing can be disassembled with one screwdriver. The Winterland is very cool.

The cosmetics evolved over time, migrating from typical Fender to recognizable D-Style. The screws on the left look like Oval head, and the ones on the right appear to be Binding head (and may be replacements), both are slotted. Any given machine screw will have a both a head style and a driver style.

here's a Dumbleland Overdrive with similar cosmetics.....

Yes, that's DL #011 I believe.

Black magic guitars has had a lot of really incredible Dumbles recently. They currently have an ODS with a ported cab and mini rotary switch labeled deep. I think this is a 6th gen chassis?

The rocker switches were used in some hifi equipment in the early 1970s, particularly Dynaco. A "for parts only" piece could be found for cheap.

For example:

This will yield five rocker switches plus a lighted rocker power switch.

Those are pan head screws.
