Thanks Dr Hiwatt

A somewhat trivial topic perhaps, but I was wondering if the salt and pepper basket weave cloth used on early/mid 70's Hiwatt cabinets is the same as used on late 60s/early 70's Marshall cabinets. I have owned both and have noticed that the orientation of the cloths is 90 degrees different from Hiwa...

Talk about huge pictures!!! Had to back up my chair 10 feet away from the screen !!! :lol: Looks like you have Drakes transformers , but better ask the inboard experts!! :wink: Louis Yes, I see that too. Don't know why that happened with the pix. I probably caused that somehow but I just chose the ...

the pics that came to info@vintagehiwattconvention.com show Drake Transformers. the "S" was probably a typo, although good internal pics may show something else. Just a thought... but could the 'S' refer to the slave out? Nice looking Carlsbro by the way. They are great sounding amps.. qu...

It's been a while since I was here with my sheet metal badge question! Sadly, I sold that head in 1972 after buying a complete and spotless Marshall 100watt Super lead full stack (the whole thing with new covers for $725.00). I couldn't justify having both heads and had no speaker cabs before this s...

Thanks for all of your quick replies. As soon as I can get to taking the cabinets apart, I'll take pix and post. Here's what I know of the equipment now: Amp head- DR103S (the "S" suffix means something- possibly added gain from the basic DR103 design?) is in wonderful condition, Tubes are...

Is there a resource/website to get an idea on the resale value of specific Hiwatt equipment?

I have an early 80s Biacrown era DR103S head and a mid 70's 4122 cabinet with basket weave salt and pepper grill/Fane speakers and am looking to sell both.

I purchased a used 100 watt head in 1972 that had a sheet metal Logo plate where the usual engraved laminated black/white plastic badges are located. Does anyone know anything about these amps with the sheet metal badge?
