  5. I am actually going to do this very same thing to my fretless the next time I have to repair my surfboard dings... (figured I'd wait and concentrate all of my toxic fume intake to one session.) Just pay very close attention to the directions on the epoxy... take the advice of someone who has worked with this stuff plenty on boats and surfboards. The catalyst is very sensitive to temperature and humidity. Follow the proportions to the letter, and there are special considerations regarding the air temperature... they are there for a reason. If you don't get the mix exactly right, your epoxy will either be: Too brittle, and the surface will delam or shatter (and that would be very uncomfortable on the fingertips while playing... especially if you do lay a strip of glass down on the board.) OR, It will not set up at all and it will be too tacky. Then you would be out a good neck. Oh yeah, and whatever you do, don't leave a piece of fiberglass soaking in a resin bucket... especially near flammables... just trust me on this one... DX <>< Oh yeah, and if you use epoxy resin first, don't go back later and try to use a poly resin on it, to fill holes, etc... they don't mix.
  6. Myles: Are 'Substi-Tubes' the way to go to replace a 6SN7GT? I saw them on the Groove Tubes website. At $40.00 a pop, am I better off trying to find a replacement 6SN7 or going with the 12AX7 adapter? DX
  7. I'm dredging this out of the depths... I just got around to cracking the chassis of my Danelectro Twin Fifteen, to look at the pots: The pots are almost all identical, and this is what is stamped on them: Vibrato- Speed and Strength, and Channel 1&2- Low and Volume: BB2917 1 MEG 137804 Channel 1&2- Highs: BB2916 1 MEG 137741 There are no other markings on them, other than the Made in USA stamp on the shaft side of the pots... The serial number is: Series E model 215 SER 80858 And other than the label, FREED Transformer Co. Brooklyn NY and the number 24246 stencilled on it, the transformer is clean. I'd really like to get this amp going... in your previous reply, you indicated that with these numbers you might be able to help me figure out what speakers were in this thing, for starters... The tubes in it right now are all Raytheon, (the 2 12AX7's are unmarked though, and the 6AU6 just has some faded white paint...) The tubes are both Japanese and English. At any rate, thats where I'm at with this thing. If you have any more you can add, I'd appreciate it, or if you can direct me to another source... I've checked with a few amp techs online, with no luck. Thanks again DX
  8. Myles: I asked a while ago (before NAMM) about the rumor I heard stating the Acoustic amp co. was back in business, and I have been unable to find anything to support that... so, I guess I am stuck working this out myself (scary thought.) Here's my problem, and although it's not a tube amp, I figured it is a question you should be able to answer for me... My amp was working fine, but seemed to cut out almost imperceptibly (hah! spelled that right the first time!) But I could never find anything wrong with it. But all of a sudden, for some reason, the only way I can get my amp to work is with a cable shorting(?) the FX loop (or by adding pedals to the loop.) There does not appear to be anything wrong with the amp inside... no burns, shorts, (that I can see anyways, not being an electronics guru by any means.) Is this common? The amp is an Acoustic B-3 Collaborator head. Any thoughts on this? Thanks DX
  9. Danymal ........ I do not know if this is true, but will probably know more after the NAMM show. Just checking if you heard anything... I desperately need to find some info on my amp, as it has been acting very odd lately... is it common for an amp to suddenly only work when there is something hooked through the effects loop? All of a sudden last thursday it just stopped working, and while messing around with things I found that while I was using my FX chain (Zoom 506II and a Crybaby) through the loop it would work fine, but when I tried it with the FX chain out it would do nothing... powers on, and the speaker pops when turned off, but other than that its dead. I tried a 12" jumper to bypass the loop and that works as well... DX
