Ok, I understand about tolerances but is there a "standard frequency" at which these are measured when being described? 1kHz? 800Hz? 50Hz might make sense but it doesn't work.

If you were replying to me (maybe not?), I have Hammond, Heyboer, etc. “replicas” but I’m interested in a clean original for both study and vintage amp restoration.

btw - if someone has an original example of the previous non-bell Dagnall C1999 type, I'd be interested in purchasing it for a restoration. It's more appropriate than the others I have.

Looking back, I found one that's the later type (this was noted to have come from a 1968 Super Lead, but perhaps it's later, 1969?) that does read fairly close to 4H at 1kHz. You can ignore the OT / PT info at the bottom and the part number. The measurements at the top under "C1999 choke" are...

How are these chokes rated for their inductance, as they are commonly referred to in conversations? I have several inductance and LCR meters but when I measure a vintage or modern "5H" or "3H" choke uninstalled at common frequencies, I don't get those ratings. Is there a standard of measuring...

Have fun, here. I can appreciate some fun speculation and experimentation but when you try to spin it as fact and spread more misinformation around as such, I can't have a serious conversation about it.

Dude, you are nuts. You're saying that there were two visible knobs, from both the front and back, that would show the amp was modded. ...but, for some reason, there was an absurd amount of effort that went into hiding the additional 12AX7 tube, which would make it hard to service, increase...

I agree. There is an issue. You've misquoted Charles Gelber in your article. Your quote - "from 58 to 61 the es-335 got Alnico 2 (or 4) magnets that measured roughly 2.5″. Between 61 to 64 the es-335 got Alnico 5 magnets and those measure 2.25″ What is actually written on his website...

what???!!? You’re saying that, somewhere inside that amp chassis, there’s a tube socket mounted with an additional 12AX7, which is somehow reversed and upside down (I guess I don’t understand), and it’s done so without drilling holes? So, just glued in or something?

Yep. Marshall, Fender, Gibson - they all say the same thing. Nothing has changed. Current pickups are all the same. Current products are even better than originals, according to them. I don't care what a phone call to DiMarzio says compared to a parts bin full of originals I have in front of...

btw - the DiMarzio plastic bobbins of the early aftermarket days can shrink even from being left in the hot trunk of a car or a cargo container left on the tarmac on a hot summer day. Just because they are wrapped and/or shrunk does not necessarily indicate they were potted. I have an original...

From that article - "from 58 to 61 the es-335 got Alnico 2 (or 4) magnets that measured roughly 2.5″. Between 61 to 64 the es-335 got Alnico 5 magnets and those measure 2.25″." This is incorrect. Factually, demonstrably, absolutely incorrect. Anyone who's done a respectable amount of sincere...

You're looking at what's probably a Draloric resistors which can have a temperature coefficient band inside the tolerance band. The red indicates TC. It's a 100k resistor. The values you are suggesting would not work properly. I have some, but these are not rated for TC. I've used those...

Just curious - why do you expect a risk of electrocution from using a Jupiter capacitor in a non-passive circuit? They have voltage and temperature ratings and are made in the US. Do you think the ratings are false or they are for some reason less reliable than other options? I have no...

The ones in the photos above did sell but I have another 1960BX cab on order, which I also plan to pull the speakers from (same speakers). So, once that new cab gets here (backordered), I can sell the other four speakers from that one. I’ll update the thread when they are available.

I kept bringing my PS2 from my studio to my workshop. It happened enough that I decided I needed another one and ordered a PS100.

What brand / model / era caps are you talking about, here? Are you using these in amps or just tone controls in guitars?

If you route a neck single for a humbucker, consider extending the route towards the neck. For some reason, it’s more common to extend the route towards the bridge. Then, you get a neck pickup that’s kinda like a middle pickup - similar to a SG or 24 feet guitar. If you extend it towards the...

I wasn't there, but from accounts of parents and friends and industry colleagues who were, I get the impression that what Hendrix did to change guitar playing was far more significant than what Edward did. I don't mean that he was a better player, at all. I'm just talking about how much "playing...

Thank you, kindly @neikeel ! I often search eBay UK for Marshall stuff but sometimes listings don't show up unless I log out of my US account, even with the .co.uk web address. I was able to buy a set. Just what I needed!
