Cheers for finding that, George... gonna keep a search (Abe) on this one as I'm tempted by a body presently residing in France, and I still have to go for those speakers, not to mention the paint for the T'bird, and a bit of plating to be done on your old MB cover (going for gold...), so...

I wondered if you'd do the MB cover to match. That should look pretty sharp!

I did a quick search and came up with a reference for "the Tube Amp Workbook" by Dave Funk. Looks to be pretty pricey at around $60. The exchange rate would do you well in this instance, Ken, and it looks like something you would definitely enjoy.

Yep. I got the name screwed up. I just dug mine out to check.

George... just wouldn't look right any other way... I have not fallen into the Chromosphere, nor the Dark-Side, but with this 'bird I remain riding on the crest of a golden wave...  ;)

PBG... no worries, a good tip deserved the necessary research so it is still appreciated... being the owner of an "obscure" amp is fun (?); one of the things I have volunteered to do for Mark Huss is to create an accurate wiring diagram for my Hiwatt, as although she visually looks like a DR103S the plate calls her a "SWITCH", so there may be some difference - only one he knows of... handy having a 50/100 in the same case, I guess...   :)
