Perhaps someone could recommend a few 10" speakers that work well with this amp. Here's a copy of a post I made in another thread regarding this amp - feel free to comment!


I wouldn't mod it.

Try new tubes and definitely replace the filter caps and the small electrolytics at the cathodes.

Once you get it back to working, then decide what you want to "fix."

Cool amp, nice photos :)

By the way, the description of the Kinks/early Stones was dead on... I could also get the early Who from them.
