D-Lab update Snozeramous Merch + Fender Princeton tube guitar amp kit Major rebuild
Updates from D-Lab. Yes, keeping busy. Lots of fun projects. Could always use more??
Repairs have been slow. I can take on more Fender repairs & kit saving.
1. New Snoz Large T-shirts have arrived. Only 5 left. Snoz 9oz glasses. 40 left. Contact me for price & delivery. If this takes off, I will order more, QTY & sizes. I have to watch my spending.
2. New Fender Princeton tube guitar amp clone repair/rebuild. This is a Weber kit. Nice chrome chassis. Not very fond of the filter capacitor. The build did not go well for the builder. Wires got crossed, smoking the power transformer. I have a new one. Plan is to gut it. Start over. This is the initial overview. More will follow.

Whats in the big box? General Radio tube type Signal Generator model 1001-A
Переглядів 1,7 тис.День тому
Box opening & inspection of a 1949 General Radio signal generator. A real beauty! Weighs around 53Lbs! Covers 50KC-50Mhz. Has modulation. Nice smooth vernier dial. Sold for $595.00 back in 1949. That is around $8000 in todays market. These are normally seen in museums. Many collectors seek them out. This ones in primo condition and operational. I plan to use it in future videos. Demonstrate it ...
Dynaco Mark IV Tube mono block amplifier transformer replacement D-lab solution Hammond 273BX
Переглядів 2,9 тис.День тому
Replacement of the main power transformer with a Hammond 273BX. Yes, it can be done with no degradation of performance. As a matter of fact, the Hammond has higher current specs. The only modification needed is for the negative bias. Vintage Fender tube amp schematics provide that information. Back in the day, power transformers did not have a bias tap, so Fender grabbed 1 of the HV windings, a...

Nice work Terry 😮😮 w8dmx Kevin
She's a little dirty the yellow bird can be repaired W8DMX Kevin
I'm a little late to the game here, but I like your take on the MOD102. I designed that kit when I worked for CE Distribution (AKA Antique Electronic Supply, Amplified Parts and MOD Electronics). I also wrote the instructions, but the illustrations were done by my co-worker Kurt (now a patent attorney in LA). Kurt also came up with two of the three push/pull switching options. I built the MOD102+ version for myself some years after we started selling them but made several changes to the original. I put an IEC socket in and used my own 22AWG wire to build it. The 20AWG wire included with the kit is too thick. I also used a standard Carling toggle for power as a standby really isn't necessary. The MOD102+ kit is slightly different in design and including the push/pull functions. It comes with the JJ ECC803-S preamp tube which is a large plate 12AX7 with a bit more gain than the standard JJ ECC83-S. I bought another kit when I retired 5 years ago and am currently building another version with an octal socket for a 5881 output and replaced the T-31 OP transformer with a Hammond 125CSE. I also added a small filter choke in place of the 100 ohm resistor in the power supply. In addition I moved a few ground locations including a soldered direct to chassis power socket ground. Should be done this week. I'm hoping for a bit more clean headroom. FYI, your demo guitar player should use a guitar with humbuckers when demoing these amps. They really crank with a humbucker driving them.
That chassis looks awfully shiny
Yes, I like the chassis. Will require removing chrome plate in areas to be soldered well
Great channel and vids..I have a problem with my solid state Roland Cube 15 amp..when i turn it on it sounds like a machine gun and there is no sound from guitar. ? do you have a clue what might cause this. Regards.
I feel like I'm back at university...I'm building a Deluxe kit and I'm absolutely positive it would either not work at all or have numerous issues if not for these videos. Latest "lesson" for me is where to land the hot mains wire... I almost feel like I should watch every possible D-Lab video before finishing my kit. THANKS!
Nice Job Terry !
I vote for XL shirts.
La aussi je suis de retour dans le monde de la radio j'adore regarder se genres de vidéos un passé temps vu que j' aime la hifi la stéréo et que un fervent de la hifi constructeur d enceinte acoustique c est magique intéressant mes amis.
D-Lab to the rescue!
Elegant repair. Sounds great!
Princeton kit is a mess, and we know D-Lab is going to make it right. Snozeramous t-shirt looks great! XXL here so will save for another D-Lab goodie.
Shouldn't it be spelled " Schnozzeramous?
There are many ways
@@d-labelectronics yes, but mine is funnier! 👍🤣🤣🤣
Leave the Snoz shirts in latge for effect. That's what the Snoz is . . . Large.
J'adore regarder les expositions je rêve dans ma bulle je pense a rien d autres je suis comblé moi qui adore la hifi et je fais partie d un club radio le réf de Lyon bonne continuation mes amis.
Love this
Absolutely SICK!!! man!!!
Very happy to say I have one coming this week.
ótimo trabalho congratulações
ótimo vídeo congratulações
Wine, but no isolation transformer?
Great video. One thing I can't stand at hamfests, is sellers dont mark their stuff. And I hate always asking what it it, how much, does it work, etc
Neat.
That's quite a treasure you got there. General Radio, a respected historical name.
Terry what wattage soldering iron do you recommend for working on Fender Amps?
Hi is there anyway to get the front panel off this amp, my uv metres are sloping downward and wondered if I can straighten them many thanks :)
$600.00 1949 = $7,317.71 in 2024 Cool piece of history
$600 in 1949 would be $7,917.71 today.
Terry, I can't wait for the subsequent episode(s)! That generator's visage is in amazing condition. Knowing that gear is 75 years in antiquity just adds to the suspense. I look forward to the next D-lab installment with great eagerness.
Exciting 😊, great condition, thanks for your videos from England
I think Radar used one of those in MASH 😅
Good lord, Terry. That’s a genuine masterpiece……👍
Great model
Classic design - it's a beauty for sure!
Relative value today $6,184 Wowsers.
Wow she is a beauty. Yes $600 in 1949 is a little over $7900 today. Yikers. Unique band selector turret. Future restoration videos of it and later vintage radios. Mr. Carlson would approve of it for sure. Thanks Terry.
What a BEUTIFUL BEAST! Can't wait to see it in operation. I think Mr. Carlson is drooling. LOL
Quite a fellow there, that Mr. Carlson.
Todays value $7,917.71
Cool Signal Generator - Looking forward to more videos!
Well for sure now your house isn't going to blow away in a storm with all that heavy metal in the shack Terry! ;-) 73 - Dino KLØS
Nice Score Terry: General Radio was a premier MFG of laboratory test equipment in the day. It still will outperform a lot of our present-day equipment given the same specifications.
The Jerrold sweep generator I remember was even more robustly built than that GenRad. It belonged to a friend (who is sadly no longer with us) who was in the business of buying and selling industrial lots.
Whoaa Ho ho....Hartley Tube Type Oscillation. Tuned Circuit. Nice.
He boxed the thing in a very expensive HAZMAT box.
Gotta love the "hammered Ham".........Picking up a Hammarland HQ 180 today from a club members estate that went SK....
Great video as always. I'm repairing a champ right now and you saved me some time. Aloha. Darrell in Hawaii
I have a PAS that I bought for less than $25. What brand of tubes are those?
Sounds great Terry! I have a SCA-35 I want to dive into and also a PAS.
Awesome piece of gear.
what is the secondary voltage of 212 transformer?
