For Sale: Ampeg B15N Amp Clone. Only one channel. The chassis, Power and Output transformers are not original, nor are any other components. Output transformer was measured to be around 7k ohms, while original is around 6.5k ohm. All coupling and tone stack caps are Sprague Orange Drops.
The voltages at the test points from schematic are nearly spot on, and sounds great. Volume, Bass, and treble pots, as per the schematic. Comes with RCA 5U4 rectifier, two EH 6SL7, and a pair of EH 6L6GC output tubes.
Please understand this is not an original B15N, just a clone of the circuit.
Aside from a bit of 60hz hum, which probably could be addressed with a little lead dress, it sounds great.
Pics forthcoming. Prefer local sale as the interested party can hear before purchasing. West sub of Chicago.
I actually have an original B15N amp (no cab) that I am getting restored, but not completed, so I cannot see how close the clone is to original...
I have about $350 invested in this amp in materials...so shot me an offer....
