Amp Guts

[Mr. Foxen]

The album title gives it away, so no peeking:

I know what it is but I don't want to say because you might think I've cheated.

If you change the name of the folder in the links then people can't cheat.

This thread needs more amp guts though, especially since I put two shots of the same part in and no-one noticed.

Don't know what it is, but it reminds me why nobody but musicians and audiophools can get excited about 1930s technology.

People get so excited about obsolete tech that they make up new [url="http://www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/steampunk/"]obsolete tech[/url].

People need to post their amp guts here too. Otherwise I'll run out and have to go buy more amps.

There was an amp guts thread a couple of months ago that was fascinating, but it was poo-pooed and fizzled out. Unfortunately, I can't help because my amps are in a rack thingie. Otherwise I would contribute with some internal pics of amps that use - wait for it - integrated circuits!

I did have a look for it. Got impatient. Ain't photoed my SS amps cause if they are dead, I can't do much to fix them, so they don't come apart much.

There wasn't a commercially viable alternative to valves till the early sixties ... so I guess you could call valves a 1900's - 1950's technology --- Wikipedia [url="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuum_tube"]Vacuum Tube[/url]

Nothing fancy going on here.

All these amp gut shots really make me want to pick up a soldering iron.

60w Carlsbro PA I've been working on myself, all works now, but the reverb is really microphonic from the rubber mounts being perished.

All mine are in the 'Show Us Your Burmans' thread.

I have to say that the crimp connectors in Mr Foxen's first picture look like a recipe for disaster to me. I don't know what that is, and I dont' want to !

[Mr. Foxen]

Haven't had reason to take my other Burman apart since I first cleaned it and I didn't have a camera handy at the time. It is due a recap though.

What could the disaster from the crimped connections be? Its done properly, and they are all secure.
