O100JM or O100JMC (fat stack). These are Plexi type replacements.

I have the O100JM-M (for 6L6 tubes) installed in my 100W, 6L6 Bluesmaster and I like it a lot.

They have so many models. Are there any clear differences that make sense in the Bumble world?

Call them and ask for Paul, He's very helpful. He told me last year that he still deals with HAD.

Sure for something like #183 or any ODS with a TF-170 OT, a plexi type replacement is a very good bet. I suppose another Mercury model that would cut it for a build like this would be something like their JCM800 replacement MMO-PX100.
Ditto on CHIP’s suggestion, call and find out because there really isn’t very much info specified on Mercury’s web page.

I have a Magnetic Components 100W JMP replacement OT, model 40-18026. Anyone used that one in a #183?

Iv'e used the MC 800 replacements on several HRM's lately but no 183 style yet..I consider them a step above the Heybour/New Sensor's...But not quite as nice as the MM Plexi replacements which seem to have a bit more throat to my ears..For the money the Magnetic Componets stuff if tough to beat though..
All in my good opinion of coarse.. :lol:

I’m not sure what mercury magnetic OPT would equal a Daglell C1998.
I used a 1968 Daglell C1998 in my #183 build love it.
It is taller than the magic parts original and a few pounds heavier
Hayboer makes a nice clone of the Daglell.

Hope this helps.

Marstran

What about Marstran? He has a repro Dagnall C1998 for $150. I believe made by Heyboer, but I'm not 100% on that.

Or the Drake 1202-119 at $140? The one that Jimi used?
