mustang guy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 HAHA Get that butt off the seat and stand on those footpegs ding dong. Those old bikes hardly had a rear suspension. I bet that video is 40 years old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldtimer Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I saw this on another forum. Nice looking amp that's yours for a cool $5,500. Made in Virginia. Or is it? Just the transformer covers are made in the U.S., the rest in China. Let's see what's under these nicely machined transformer covers. Ooooops, output transformer looks a little beat up. Hope nobody opens the covers!Inside is a little messy. Resistor leads are a little long and some (grid stoppers) are a little too far from the tube sockets to be effective. What kills me are the two red switches at the front of the amp for triode/pentode switching. They're not even hooked up!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, I know diddly about tube stuff, but that looks like a few old components stuck in there and hack solder man. Some of those leads joins have enough lead on them to double as fishing weights. I know this because I am an expert at being a hack solder...'er Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is their website: http://www.sophiaelectric.com/pages/amp/magic126.htm No mention of not hooking up the pentode switch. Maybe they ran out of solder? Or maybe hookign up the switches is part of the $10,000 optional amp "made for TAD / JBL horns."

oldtimer Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yeah but read the reviews on that link. Maybe this is all it really takes for that great tube sound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
