NOS Deluxe Reverb / Unbelievable
« on: October 09, 2013, 07:13:09 pm »
Found in church closet by friend. You may never see another one like this. All tubes are original RCA and peg my tester.
Dont seem possible to see one in this condition. 1973 model.  Even inside the chassis the board and all components have a sheen/shine to them :w2:

So what mods do you have lined up?   add an MV?  6L6 conversion?  cathode bias?

That'll make a nice low power plexi once you strip out that spaghetti wiring.  :wink:

A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Plexi is in my blood. But you could not entice me to fool with Mother Nature. Maybe i have a time machine thing going on here and dont know it. Im leaving well enough alone. Man if you could only see this thing in person you would be speechless. It even has the smell of a new amp. Dah x Dah! = Dah!

Wrap it in acid-free paper, seal in a bag, flush with Argon, and put it in a vault to sell in your old age.

Is this your amp to keep, or checking it out for your friend?  You have been blessed by the amp Gods.

Any tube unit can be brought back to life.
I never meet a tube I didn't like.

I have an aesthetic attraction to blackface amps (it's something about the model name lettering on the old panels for me), but that is a utterly perfect Deluxe! Congrats!!

Man that is the king bee. That looks new as well. All the chassis solder joints are like looking in a mirror.
The amp is a friends that wanted the PS capacitors looked at before firing it up

Wow! Like it was new out of the box! How do you manage to find this stuff Plexi?

I pray a lot!
