Alamo Amp model 6A - Looking for a schematic
« on: December 02, 2012, 07:49:35 am »
Just got this in and it's a mess. Has push button tone control and tremolo.

5U4
2 x 6L6
6SN7
2 x 12AX7

The preamp tubes are a guess because they have no markings anymore.
Picture is lifted from the web.

All I've found is probably what you've already found: there are basically none. Some guy in Texas (figures  :laugh: ) owns the name and schematics and is not big on sharing.
Tapping into the inner tube.

I've done a long research looking for Alamo schematics

but I've find only the schematic here attached (not those you are looking for)

There is a site out here you can pay for the schematic for just about anything. If i find it again i will pass it on to you. Those old Alamos were a different bird and cool.

See: http://bayareaguitarswap.yuku.com/topic/215/Let-s-talk-vintage-amps-non-Fender-oddities--rarities-Watcha#.UMA6eJNetNI

and get in touch with Skip... may be he still remembers something about the 6A...
