1963 Gibson Skylark GA-5 Crestline
« on: November 30, 2023, 04:31:25 pm »
Hello Everyone - I have a 1963 GA-5 that I want to redo completely. I have the original schematic but I was hoping that someone here might have an easier-to-read schematic than what the factory had. I have attached a picture of what kind of schematic I am looking for. It does not have to be that fancy, it can be hand drawn but I am looking for something that looks like what I see in the real world. Appreciate any help.

That 5F1 pic is not a schematic. It is a layout. The GA5 pic is a schematic. It's about as simple as it gets. Both pics are real world drawings.

Are you really looking for a LAYOUT for the GA5?
A schematic, layout, and hi-rez pics are very useful for troubleshooting your amp. Don't wait to be asked. JUST DO IT!

Hey Slucky,

I apologize for not using the correct terminology. I guess I thought by adding both pictures it would be easy to understand what I was looking for.

To answer your question, I am looking for a LAYOUT for the GA-5 Crestline (5-Tube) amp.
