Title: Build suggestions for a W02273 PT
Post by: 72Blazer on March 05, 2022, 01:08:16 pm: I scored a pair of W022723 PTs a while back and I'm interested in hearing from the pros what a good amp choice would be. Looking for suggestions as well as these 2 questions:

Could I build a Stout?

Could I build a beefier Princeton Reverb?

What other amps come to mine?

Thanks!

A 5U4 rectifier may help reduce the B+ voltage but heater voltage could be an irksome problem to jury rig a "fix."

(This would work for a tweed Bassman 5F6a)

Check out this thread: https://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=28707.0 (https://el34world.com/Forum/index.php?topic=28707.0).

It's another possibility for that 200mA PT.

The 290CX is HUGE. The bell end fits perfectly in the Weber 6a14 chassis, but I do have to drill new bolt holes. It nearly touches the can cap though. Better than trying to widen a square hole. Here are the dimensions (pdf attached) if you'd like to compare it with the one you have. The cutout on the Weber chassis is 2.75x2.23". And I obviously love the 6l6 Princeton I built with a very similar PT, so that's what I say you should make!
