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.

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.

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...

    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.
