    I've decided to build my own cab - 2x 3" 5w 4Ω speakers I have lying around.

     

    I can't calculate the volume & port dimensions, so I'm scaling down my TE2103H cab 9_9

     

    Build diary to follow in a bit..

  2. ........  I never thought of this,  I'm gutted and down trodden, ( dabs corner of eyes),   I've just bought an Ibanez semi acoustic for a different sound to my short scale Gretsch.  YES,  certainly for a gigging musician that could really work,  never mind us all having a shed full of different instruments,   one for each song.

    this is probably it, most stations are playing 80's onwards stuff in their pursuit of yoof, I'm of an age that grew up with the Beatles and listen to very little radio these days, with the exception of Gold I don't know of any stations that cater, musically, for the over 60's

    Ey - up,  I'm apparently over sixty,   and we have R2 on at work,  yep,  hadn't realised they had vanished off the 'air'  til this thread.  Saxon have just done an album of covers,  including "Paperback Writer", would they need permission to record that after all this time ?,   but if your a fan of Ford Escorts from the 70's,  check out the vid for their single, Speed  King.

    I know , it’s a pretty reasonable price isn’t it 🤔

    I just don’t think I could live with a 427w, 35kg behemoth. Think of the cost of s service...you’re talking £200-300 just to replace the power valves . Oh but it’s a thing of beauty 😫

    Hah !,  my heavyweight BTA300 has blown one of its 6 valves, (full set is 240, trade) which has taken down the Ht supply.  Luckily,   each valve can be biased separately so no need to replace all at the same time, as long as they will bias, good job. Good old Ashdown have emailed me schematics for the amp and repairs are underway,   a phone call got me even more useful info,  I have three of their valve heads,  thanks to the previous post for the  'link'.    Mmm ?

  5. ......  and there you have it,  @krysh,  you've had a go,  most of us won't,  but I believe what you say.   And,  how many times have we been told that what goes on inside a given amp for a particular guitar hero , isn't necessarily how it started off in life.
