I'd say that they are very close to becoming a reality.

I have an early 70's cab I would send to you for a re-load .

What he said .

Haven't seen any updates or confirmations and was just wondering if these are still being released ?

Definitely FANE speakers but not 100% sure of the wattage( probably in the 50-70w range; pwr-handling-wise).

That's a couple of years past the Hylight-era of production but probably decent-sounding speakers .

How do they sound ?

Everyone knows that the HI-TONE DR-F is the Best 1970's HIWATT Fane style speaker available. Everyone knows that we cannot sell the DR-Fs loose. But did you know that you can send us your Genuine Dave Reeves era HIWATT SE4123 or SE4122 and we can load it and rewire it for you? 8) Sweet ! How much f...

Are you actually running EL34-s in your DR201 or was that a typo ?

Jumping in here: the original DR201's ran 4 x KT88 power tubes. A later rendition (still a Hylight Hiwatt) ran 6 x EL34 instead.

Oh, right - I completely forgot about the EL-34 pwr'd 201's .

Hi everyone First post here, finally bought a vintage hiwatt 201. I bought the amp for an amazing price, due to some unknown issues. I got the amp, the back has a sticker saying the mains fuse should be 5amps but the tech page here says 10amp for 120v mains. I checked he fuse and it was a 5. I turn...

Thanks . Yeah I noticed you are offering those now w/ your amp builds .

RAWK !!!!!!!!

Nice work, Clayton !

I generally run the amp w/ both volumes between noon-1:00, max.

I know the JJ's are reliable but .. how about the Gold Lions ?

Thanks for any input .

Big congrats on your first vintage HIWATT !! 8) I acquired my first 4-input Hiwatt last month; a ' 75 DR201 - it also has the cutdown serial number tag like yours . I had a ' 78 2-input DR103 that I sold in 2006, and had been getting by with an ' 82 Biacrown 50 until last fall when I picked up anoth...

Another question... is the DR201 actually rated at 200 watts? or less? I'm talking both the KT88 and El34 models. We're in the process of finding that out, and will be measuring some vintage 201s as soon as the Doc has some free time. --mark This info might be of use in the meantime . http://www.ds...

Glad you found one !

I paid a little bit more for my '75 with KT-88's but definitely worth it .
