John Stillwell / Dawk / Serviced 1971 Twin Reverb
« on: November 24, 2023, 04:24:44 pm »
Got a 1971 Twin Reverb that was serviced by Dawk. A surprising history. Don't know who originally owned it. Someone put a Black Face Plate on it.

The owner is fairly young and has no knowledge of what he has. I already told him someone changed the faceplate.It is all original and un butchered. Minus new Screen & Grid resistors , Cathode & PS Caps it will stay that way.

Tube chart in Cabinet says AB763. not. It is an AA769 circuit. I think it should stay original and not BF the amp. Bias,etc.
