OK, define "a few"
Ahem.
Update: the odd looking baffle turns out to be original. It’s a VERY early 6G2.
See Part 1 here:

There’s something about tearing down and repopulating an old fender eyelet circuit. I’ve done 2 now and it’s like zen. Making it look straight and clean is like shaping a bonsai tree.

I believe I remember seeing that amp on reverb, that's a distinctive grill cloth. If I recall correctly it was listed in excellent or maybe even mint condition, which was a bit of a head scratcher given the aforementioned grill cloth.

I had an untouched brown Princeton that had one of the disc caps on the pots not soldered, it was looped in so it worked all those years. Must have been the same day dreaming gal, surely not Lupe! Shame the amp was cap harvested.

I am actually getting parts together to build a 6g2 amplifier. Chassis from mojotone is coming in, have a front panel coming, have the tag board already. Slowly going through listings looking for old transformers that were pulled from old amplifiers that fit the specs. I might make an original duplicate of the combo, but I want to try different things like making a 1x15 combo with an old Magnavox Alnico or something.

I made a fortuitous discovery years ago. I had bought some special flux for soldering to Aluminium. Not only does it work well for Aluminium but it works on Steel as well. I can't put a name to it right now because a lot of my stuff is still in boxes after a move. It was American made stuff though. All kinds of Toxicity warnings on the pot ... ☠

Many, many years ago, before internet era, I got one of my first tube amps which had a same kind of cathodyne PI and tremolo osc feeding output tube grids. It was some kind of cheap Watkins Dominator type amp. I did not like that thumping at all, so I just decided to add one 12AX7 after PI as a double cathode follower buffer to feed the output tubes and make the trem osc output nicely balanced to both output tube grids. (One option would have been to redesign the PI to be long tail etc. But in that very amp it was very easy just to add an extra tube.) That mod absolutely 100% gets rid of that thumping and you can really get a very deep and nice tremolo if you want to torture output tubes with that bias swing. Of course, you have to make sure that PT has enough juice to supply that extra tube's power. That mod is of course very inappropriate for a real vintage amps. 😂

I was just doing a lot of research on that, and you are correct. Kind of weird, not as pretty as the later ones, but inherently valuable so it won’t be touched. That un-square square means this was done by hand, so probably a VERY early 6G2.

What’s your opinion on reenergizing alnico speaker magnets? Is it necessary?
@PsionicAudio
@PsionicAudio 4 месяца назад
I’m not a speaker expert, but in a general sense if a magnet isn’t as strong as it was designed to be for an intended purpose, regaussing would be an option. But I haven’t had weak magnets be an issue on any of the speakers in amps that have come through, even from the ‘30s.

Nice work and detail cleaning up those eyelet boards and components. Just a minor item when you refer to the bias resistor you mention it a few times and refer to it as 24K when it is in fact a red-red-ora, 22K. I know you have mentioned before that you are color blind and I just want to mention this if you want to edit the video and then delete this comment. I love these amps and have a 6G2, albeit a tuxedo version!
