I changed out one of the preamp tubes, and put in a NOS Sylvania JHS 12ax7 Black Plate It uped the input and is very crisp and clean as a whistle, and also sounds great...!!! S

The amp has NOS tubes, Sylvania Black Plate JAN 6V6 GTA, and the two Preamp tubes, one is Made in Germany, The other is made in Gt. Britain. I think they sound wonderful!! I had a set of JJ 6V6s in it but they sounded a little harsh,... Brittle and piercing/ These Sylvanias are warm and full...

This is a clip from a first recording played thru a Tweed Deluxe Clone I built with some help. 12 inch Tone Tubby speaker

Done with help.. pictures coming..... stand by..

By the way, this was recorded using a BLUE 'Yeti' USB mic and a real tube guitar amp I built from a kit, and effects from a DOD multi pedal. I think it came out OK, but I continue to refine and clean up the sound. New recording coming soon, and I am learning how to add more tracks.... S

Take my wife...... Please take my wife.....

Thanks for the feedback,... I have been playing that for like 2 hours at a time, trying to clean it up, and make it the same every time. The wife saysafter 10 minutes I should just stop...... The trick to getting anything down is over and over and over........right? S

I guess its not too bad for fingerpicking eh...? S

I am a novice when it comes to settings.... both recording, and most electronics. I was happy tohave been able to record anything listenable.... tho not real good, it gets across the feel of the song... still need to add a vocal track, but recording just this is a win for me.. with the...

Just have to cut the transformer holes into the chassis, then install them, then finish soldering the turret board in, and tube it up for a test. Already have a couple of small cabs ready to go... have wanted to finish one I started quite a while ago, so I can hear what it sounds like.....:)

Yeah I haven't really pushed this stuff cause I problywill never be able to afford this high quality again, I have had both for a very long time I am 72, and yes both units worked when I stopped using them, just got busy actually earning a living and 60-80 hour weeks do not allow much 'foolin...

So I guess nobody is interested in this stuff, with over 1000 views and not one question or comment, ??? I guess nobody wants quality stereo gear any more??? No one even asked for photos, or ???' Kinda sad really.... S

Before I list this stuff elsewhere,.... I will take some resposible and real offers here. I have two tube stereo amps .. The first is just the amplifier. It is an EICO HF-86 14 watts per side, Mullard tubes, both 12DW7/7247 and the EL84/6BQ5 are Mullards and as of it being taken off line , or...

I love your pics, !!! Wishing is all I am able to do,..... but, that is what part of Jamfest is all about.... Trying other peoples gear..... I love the sound of a well played National Tri-cone !!! Just can't see spending what it costs to own one..... Fixed income sucks.... S

If ANY old electronics has not been powered up in like 20 years, plugging it in and turning it on can fry parts.... After that long, gravity will cause oils and waxes ,which were used in some old amp capacitors they could fail and send damaging voltages to other parts of the amp. Nice little...

The first is this weekend, it is a fundraiser for the North Country Hardship Fund This was started over 10 years ago to help folks in our area, ( Upstate NY, several counties.) It has helped families facing tragic events such as losing everything in a fire,. Or having family members die or...

If you have a room with a dimmer switch hooked to an outlet, you should use it. To fire that up after however many years with no power or not being used.... could be you will fry the guts before getting any sound out of it. It needs to be powered up slowly so you dont ruin it. If you can't do...

Maybe the pushing it to overdrive levels is why I cant hear very well any more, but I am an old fuck so having done that quite a bit in my 20s, it really has an impact after 50 years.... I dont build too much any more either, right eye is gone, makes any soldering, or pretty much anything else...

For the most part I stand by my comments, and with the understanding that all of it sort of depends on the tastes of the player. Having said that there are exceptions to every rule.... some power tubes do make a difference as anyone who has an amp freshly re-tubed will tell you... especially if...
