I saw the tranny but I was wondering where the bulgin input was. At least where is the hole? 3300 good opening bid. Whoa.

Pinus, My tech fixed the issue. He changed the ratings on the resistors in question. He doubled their value if I'm not mistaken. No problems, she's running smooth and sounding great. I also convinced to his early dismay to put in a quad of Shunguang Black Treasures power tubes. He doesn't care for C...

Thanks Mark, For clarification, the 100 ohm 5% is the resistor that is heating up enough to de solder itself from the turret post. That's a screen resistor no? I saw a thread from about a year ago addressing the same issue. I'm not sure how he resolved it because there was no follow up. You suggeste...

Thanks! I'll suggest it to George. I had a similar problem with the tubes I got with the head, japanese amperex(?). I'm running a bunch of distortion and overdrive pedals in my chain pretty wide open, well all set to 1:00 (7), could that factor in a overheated resistor? Chain goes... noise gate(effe...

Well I'm trying out a set of Shuguang black treasures they are matched well and biased cool says my tech. Haven't burned them fully in but they sound pretty good and I expect they will warm up a bit with some play. Unfortunately I have a gremlin playing tricks on me. One of the resistors (I believe ...

Hello... I'm looking at buying new power tubes for my '72 dr103. I know NOS mullards would be the best option but alas they are hard to find. I was wondering what others have tried and or are using in the power section of their Hiwatt? I have I believe japanese made amperex tubes in there currently ...
