Trying to figure out what and how old this amp is’ Serial # under the fuse is D006082…I have only the chassis. No spkr or cab. Looks like 50’s deluxe amp …5E3 circuit.. serial # make any sense??
Thanks,

L’ampli a metà corsa del potenziometro cominciava a distorcere e ho dovuto modificare lo schema del circuito,inserendo il controllo Bias alle griglie controllo delle 6V6 con tensione negativa da 26 volt,è solo migliorata di poco la distorsione,però il problema rimane,perchè????
La distorsione che senti è quella tipica del 5e3.
L’alternativa è utilizzare la PaulC mod

L’amp avrà più clean, ma perderà il tipico sound del tweed deluxe.
Anyone know what the cabinet chassis cutout is for the 1955 5E3 Small Box Deluxe?
