Hello,
I'm proud to say I'm now a member of the growing family of Hiwatts! I picked up a Custom 100 from 1980 today. Hylight Electronics edition with partridge transformers. It sounds great.
One question though.... I can't for the love god move the ohm-selector... What to do?
Thanks,
BOB

Congratulations and welcome!
I have a DR504 from 1980 and it is a great-sounding amp. Yours should have the plug + socket style selector. Is the plug stuck in the socket?

Thanks Mike,
It has a 3-way selector. 4, 8 & 16.
I really can't move it at all...

It's not a selector "switch" like modern amps use.
Does this help?

Welcome!
It isn't a switch. It doesn't turn, You simply pull it straight out and push it in with the arrow to the desired impedance or voltage.
