Looking thru the schematic and layout drawings I have for Tweed champs I see the 5E3 schematic I have is a Weber version. It list the transformers with Weber part numbers. This is where I have a little cunfusion. Did he take the original design and just add his tranny part numbers? Do amp kit suppliers follow the original fender schematics or do they take some liberties and add their own changes? Was the 5E3 the first Fender design to use the 12A*7 type preamp tube? Where do the 5D1 and 5F1 versions come into the picture? I know I'm asking a ton of questions but I'm very curious about this topic.
