another skylark

 acquired this from a starving musician   Very clean, plays well, just needs the 2 dead bee guts cleaned off, and scratchy pots cleaned.  Gonna spec it against the schematic and see where it's at.  Way better than the last 3 I fixed!  It's the odd one, 6EU7, 6C4, and interstage tranny PI

Clean little dude. Did the others you looked at have those radial (PC mount) caps or do you think those new(ish)?

[PRR]

> do you think those new

You can see the rivet holes where the old flex-lead strap-mount caps were removed.

Still don't believe that can be a Gibson. I can almost read the whole circuit at a glance. Where is the messy maze?

[pullshocks]

I always have liked the looks of Gibson amps from that era

Where is the messy maze?

  You are right, when I opened it, I was amazed, The other 3 I worked on looked like my early spaghetti days!  All the wires, soldering, components,  looks *original*, except the cap-3prong mod.

Here's the schematic for the "whiteface" GA5T in case you don't have it. They can be hard to find...

I love those little amps and this one looks nice.  Original speaker still working well?

Thanks Steve, ya, it took me like 4days of surfing last year when that model came in.  I was fascinated with the tranny PI, so I bought one and incorporated it into my last build, way less parts to solder

The speaker sounds good, I think this amp just sat in a closet for along time.

Here's the info I got from the amp, still need to tension sockets, and the bass pot won't cleanup, but it only scratches when you turn it

EDIT: I did change the time-base on the scope, no weirdness on the OT
