I bought a turntable unit from a thrift store this weekend. it turns out to be a modified 1946 philco. The tubes are 5Y3GT, 6V6GT, 6V6GT, 7X7, 7AF7. The transformer is the original Philco 32-8248. there is a seperate preamp unit that was added which is a Calrad model pre-105 that uses a 6SC7.
I am more than proficient in electronics and I am a Ham Radio Operator. So fear not I will not electricute myself.
What I would like to do is to rewire this amp into a nice flexable jazz, blues / rockabilly amp. I would like to have plenty of tuneability to it.
I have a 1967 Hagstrom Viking II that I will be using with the amp.
Currently the amp powers up and runs fine however there is still some remnants of the screw adjustable equalizer in the circut and I dont know what else. there are two knobs controling the volume and possibly a tone control?
the person who modified this unit has it runing three speakers on 12 and two 8's. It play ok with the currents setup, but the sound from the 1st string, the highest notes are very very quiet, I am asuming this is due to a missing part of the screw pot equalizer.
I know that once I rewire everything that this old amp will be rockin, so guys what ideas do you have?
