Cleaned up to size Blackface Super Reverb AB763 layout

Post by beasleybodyshop »

Hey guys, im in the process of restoring a silverface AB763 super to blackface spec and lead dress. All the grainy images of the original layout was bothering me, so i cleaned up the original image. Ive attached it to this message. I also made sure the image was scaled to original super reverb chassis specs, so you should be able to have this printed to scale pretty easily. Im sure someone else has done this before but just in case they didnt here this is. Hope this helps anyone trying to emulate the lead dress from the layout.

Something else might help is just go on and type in the amp, and add chassis pic, see what pops up. Or look at those type selling on ebay. many will have close up inside pics. Some bone stock ones. And you can see how the layout is in the real amp.

here are just a couple..

What I do is upload the images into a scalable vector graphics editing program like (Inkscape) and size the chassis outline to known dimensions. From there you can draw a square over the circuit board and check the dimensions on it. It appears the blackface era (at least) drawings are to scale, so you should be pretty damn close.
