Made a cabinet and an amp.
2x10" Jupiter/WGS. Asymetrical coverd in barlycorn tweed.
Amp is based on a Gretsch schematic with 6373 tubes. I use 2x nos RCA 6CZ5 (5CZ5) for about 20 watts peak power. 2x 12ax7 preamp. Non-tube Spring reverb. James tonestack. Parafrase PI.
Cabinet and amp are not a set but....
Sounds so amazing together!!!

In for repair.
Klemt echolette 5
At first it was dead. But now i have it running. I mean the motor is spinning and i have voltages across the tubes ect.
Problem is: there is no tape. Does anyone know what tape i can use. Like can i cut a piece from an old cassettetape or somthing.
Not much experience with tape echo's, but very interesting.

Repairs.
Vox AC30.
1985 silver jubilee. Burned anode resistor on the trem channel. Replaced some caps And some cleaning done. Ready for some serious vox tone!
London City Super Amplifier. 100w plexi clone from the early 70's. Made in Amsterdam. Famous in all of the Netherlands for good rock tones.
Burned PT and a New rectifier. Also reverse some questionable repairs from the past. Also changed the caps for the EL34 to some beter quality ones.

It does not look that way, but Billy the Cat is very pleased with the progress we're making with the repairs.

Monster Marshall on the bench. 2x100wwattt.
In for new tubes (😬€€€€)
But there were more problems.
1st it was not as loud as i would expect, both channels.
While biasing i noticed 1 side was non existent, not less or faint.
So problems with the P.I.
Stanger even, this was on both independent channels....
Ecc81 tubes were ok.
It turned out these p.i.'s were biaded with an high voltage transistor, not the usual longtail resistors.
In both channels/amps they were cooked. So after replacing them there was balance in the amp once more!
And LOUD again!
