How much of a safety issue is it to remain two prong?

If you are going to use the amp in venues with questionable or unknown power then I'd have a good tech convert it properly.

Hey, Myles-

Got a source for the dark grey grille cloth that came on '80s/'90s "red knob" Fender amps?

Or even a part number for the material?

How about a UK source for it, to boot?

Or, if not, what would be a close match alternate?

Thanks!

I do not have a source but perhaps look at my facebook page and find Arne Hast (Vintage Guitar) and ask him.

Thanks!

Have you tried Parts Express ?

Thanks- their "black" just might be the ticket! I'll run that by my friend.

EDIT: Thanks again, but it's not a match, either! This particular grille material seems to have gone by the wayside; I'm afraid he's eventually gonna hafta settle for either classic "blackface" silver, or the "black" like they've got there at Parts Express; nobody anywhere seems to have the same dark grey any more...

Hi there..

Searched and came up stupid... I'm looking for a basic wiring diagram for a pair of humBs and a 5 way switch for a tele loaded fat at either end.... though one be truly thinner than the other but fat none the less.

Par N, Ser N, Ser N&B, Ser B, Par B.

which in my thinking would be fairly common but somehow difficult to find a diagram for.

Point me in the right direction if you could please.
thanx

Does this help?

Hey Myles,

My London head is having some issues in that there is hissing when I pull out the guitar cord in the Colour channel and very little to no difference in power between hi and low inputs on that channel as well. This appears to be intermittent (or happens when its been on for a while -- I need to verify that though).

Do you think this a pre-amp (EF86) tube issue? Power tubes?

If so which replacement EF86 would you recommend?

Thanks.

Waterman .... output tubes would have issues on both channels. Could be the EF86 or could be the jack. Call the shop on Monday at 1-818-760-5089 and ask for Joe or Mike. On EF86s I like Teslas which can be found here .... http://www.dougstubes.com/6volt.htm

Nice tube at a good price well tested by a trusted fellow.

(At the risk of bumping back Shoes' posted questions)



+1 on Doug/Doug's Tubes.

I can't say enough good about Doug at Doug's Tubes; great guy, on top of his game, great to do business with! I've gotten EXACTLY the results I wanted when buying tubes from him and following his recommendations. Fair, reasonable prices, too!
