okay thanks. If something comes along that points to what tightly twisted or over twisted heater wires and their affect are called, I'll post it. It's true though, that I've never ever seen heater wires like that done on any Marshall. Maybe that's a part of it, and guessing why he would have told me...

To point out, my curiosity is in the heater wires only. Other wires such as choke wires didn't matter. It was the lead dress he was pointing out. I was asked if I'd ever seen Marshall twist wires like that, and obviously my answer was no. I am looking for the term of two wires when tightly twisted t...

It was long ago and not sure, using the wrong term, that is why I'm asking. I vaguely remember something affecting and defeating the purpose of twisting too tight. Probably not a magnetic rod, but that it's turned into more of a solid rod. Make sense? Basically what the term is, or what it's called ...

In the past, I was informed that I had over twisted the heaters on a 1992 build. Understandably so, as it was my first build and just did the best I could with instructions. Got crafty and used the trusty ole Black & Decker corded hand drill to twist the heater wires. After the nice looking install,...

In my travels, I have noticed that I prefer or favor a 1992 shared cathode with 75Hz GB's or Blackback's
and a 1959 split, with 55Hz bass cones.

Edit: Guitar plugged straight in.

Thanks, Ron. Yes, and knowledgeable as well. I placed an order. I'll post an image when it arrives. 8-) I forgot to ask if he shields the bottom, or that I would be the one installing. The only thing that he mentioned that he does not attempt, are the 4 mounting holes for the chassis that would be u...

Found it, yes !

Most places I visited say Marshall tolex or levant, but it is black.

Thanks for the informative replies guys. Wow I see many with those markings doing a quick google search. Here is one that came with my Super... Also, taking another look and confirming, the 15 I have does not have these markings. [img:501:640]https://farm8.staticflickr.com/7516/16052563341_0573c9033...

I have a '67 BF SR that came with the brown & gold label; with red marker markings. I've also have a 15 with these markings. What do these represent? What is the difference between the similar b&g Fender label and Jensen's ? Same spec/cone? [img:25:23]http://www.tintdude.com/forum/public/style_emoti...

If you had to choose your top ten favorite tube amps over the last 50 - 60 years, which ten would be a must have for your collection? .../ /... Which circuit designs are the most used and desired? There were only two that stood out with this criteria. A late '60's AC30 and a first run TwoRock E50. ...

Switchcraft has always been my favorite and 1st choice. I also like Cliff, G&H and Nuetrik, but I considered Switchcraft because I own a lot of vintage gear and they are fitted with Switchcraft. I took notice that manufacturers have different tip shapes. IOW focusing on the head & throat. Most of my...

Just note that you will be driving the output tubes harder so they will clip sooner, as such you may also want to bias them a tad cooler depending on what your ears tell ya! So when a higher value NFB resistor is replaced making the amp a little more gainy , resulting in clipping sooner; will drive...

I have only built 2 Plexi builds and always learning things from you guys here, like in this thread. Thanks for that... I have used the yellow 1st & 2nd gen in one of my builds and sound comparable to the (Philips) Mustard's. I've known of these for a while, but haven't heard these yet. [img:400:227...
