I recently won another Motorola mono Hi-Fi record player console tube amp... this one is a HS-701B which uses a 5Y3 rectifier, two 12AX7 tubes in the preamp/driver/inverter stage and a pair of 6BQ5 (EL84) for power tubes. I believe that it came out of a SK-33 series Motorola console. I'm guessing from the tube count that the circuit is or can be made to something similar to non-tremelo channel of the Marshall 18-watt amp, with the exception of the 5Y3 instead of an EZ81 rectifier.
I want to modify this amp for guitar use. So far all I've done is crimp some spade connectors onto the speaker wires so I could plug a speaker onto it and soldered in a 1/4" jack in place of the RCA jack for the input. Everything seems to work well, although as I expected beforehand volume is somewhat weak and it is totally clean up to max volume. This is fairly similar to my experience with other Motorola Hi-Fi chassis. I know I will remove the "loudness" circuit from the back of the volume pot -- that looks identical to the other Motorola chassis I have. I think I've located the "feedback resistor" but I'm not absolutely sure on that one yet. I'm hoping to get the schematic so I can determine for sure if I've found the feedback resistor. I will try it with no feedback resistor (it doesn't look like the Marshall 18 watt circuit uses one), and if that isn't good I will try a few larger than stock values. This is similar to what I've done with the other Motorola chassis I've got.
Unfortunately
http://techpreservation.dyndns.org/schematics/Motorola.htm is down right now and they don't appear to have the HS-701B... and when it was up last week I was searching all over for this one and wasn't able to locate it or another similar chassis.
Anyway, if anyone has a schematic for this thing, I'd greatly appreciate it if I could snag a copy. If not I may end up having to buy a Sam's photofact or something.
