Hi guys, This is another amp saved from the rubbish heap.
It's in good shape and the old tubes have a little more life left in them after 40 years.
Some of the Ecaps have been replaced and are in good nic, so I replaced the cathode caps that were original.
Fired up with a motorboat sound and found that replacing the 6GW8s fixed that.
The trem had no wobble at all and replacing the 12AX7 had no effect, so tapping around the solder joints found a coldie, trem fixed.
She not too pretty under the hood, but has a great sound.

Pretty is as pretty does; if it sounds good it's pretty! :icon_biggrin:

How close is the reverb circuit to the 30WGR?
I can't seem to spot an LDR and neon - are they used in the trem circuit?
PS. can you pdf the schem :-)

Here is a GIF of the amp. The SCH file also contains a voltage chart.
THANKS Timbo for posting this!!
With respect, Tubenit

As an FYI to anyone who wishes to convert a SCH file to GIF.
Click on to the SCH & open it.
Click on to "export schematic image". When you do this, it will save automatically as a BitMap. Save as BitMap
Using Windows "PAINT", ...... open the BitMap file & resave it as a GIF
Using Windows PAINT, ..... open the GIF file & resize to "55" (which means you are resizing it smaller to 55% of the 100% original file)
From there you can use windows paint to color things like a layout board or terminals etc...... (see attached schematic as an example)
With respect, Tubenit
Having said that ................... I wished more forum members would use ExpressSCH or j-schem.

It is time I moved to a new program instead of putzing around with what I have been using. Good thing I checked out this thread, doubt I would have thought to change otherwise.
