763 board

Post by dezmoduo »

I've had this AB763 board so long I don't recall how I acquired it and I want to do something with it before it's too late

It doesn't appear to have any vibrato components and I'm still comparing layouts from Fender as well as robrobinette.com
Truth be told I actually want to build a Princeton 2 6v6 and then I remembered I have this populated board.

I'm inserting a picture of the board in hopes that someone much more familiar with this circuit could shed some more focused light on it.
The image can be opened in a new tab for closer inspection. I cleaned most of the dust off !!

Early stage planning and a hail Mary.
Back to the internet.

You could try a non reverb deluxe if your board is the one I'm thinking it is. 2x6v6 would be in the wheelhouse

There's no trem so it's not a match for any likely Fender guitar amp of that era.
It seems closest to the AA864 Bassman to me https://el34world.com/charts/Schematics ... _schem.pdf

AA864 does look like it. Great and Thank you. I have more than my share of bassman variants. I'll pursue a simple Princeton.
I'll put a label on the board for when I don't recall in 3 years.

One less mystery,

In case you ever decide to build an AA864, change one resistor.

Do you know the history of this board?

I have come across 2 boards, one in a 67 Bandmaster and another in a 65 SR and they both had become conductive.

The SR was a real PIA to narrow down where the leakage dc was coming from.
When I die, I want to go like my Grandfather did, peacefully in his sleep.
Not screaming like the passengers in his car!

Cutting out a man's tongue does not mean he’s a liar, but it does show that you fear the truth he might speak about you!
