Boredom is the devil's playground, and he trolls eBay

Post by xtian »

Got bored and bought this Knight amp:

Anyone can find schematic?

Why do you think it has two rectifiers?

The great thing about that rig is your whole band can play through it. :)

No, I check your vision with turtles. I have 37 turtles and the first one has a tremendous E on it.. the letters get smaller and you can guess how it goes from there.

I am in a bit of a trance lately. I have peered into a single chassis for so long that I can see a ghost image of it if I close my eyes.

And I thought screen burn was only a problem with cathode ray tubes. :?

It works on the same principle. Rods and cones all burned up and crossed.

This is confususing.
I see a 5Y3, then that curious setup horizontally placed that looks like a 5U4GB or GZ34 and a couple of power tubes?

As long as you don't see purple sparks and a white flash and Jesus asking you "What are you doing here!??" when you close your eyes you are probably ok.

Maybe one of the rectos for the preamp, and the other for the power amp?

This guy has been burned before, he marked all the tubes in case a buyer swaps bad ones then returns it for refund.
