Which is a Fender type; close, but no cigar. The real handles used by Dumble were the Ernie Ball/Music Man ones, and unfortunately, they are no longer being made. The only solution I have found is: you can get them from Mike Soldano (he uses them in the SLO amps) for $40 a pop (PayPal), shipped. I know, it's $25 more expensive than they used to be that way but, if that's what you want, that's their price.

Were these the 'standard amp handle' or the 'deluxe handle' type.
Here in the UK I have them listed in my wholesale catalogue (latest edition). EB may not be producing them, but I will contact my supplier tomorrow and see if they have any old stock left.

I'll report back with the answer.

It was called "Pro Amp Handle" here in the USA. Lookie here:

I'm afraid I have to report that there are none left over here either.
Many thanks to Brandon ( Funkalicousgroove, www.bludotone.com ) for some weld nuts to hold the chassis to the cabinet and a 350k trimmer for the OD input circuit!
ic-racer,
I feel like I am watching a soap opera about electrons, and I am hooked, cannot wait for the next installment Just received my Ceriatone Overtone Thursday, and am running GT el34ls's in it and using a Lansing Altec 417 8c speaker which matches perfectly with it.
I am making my first two guitars, and have to make a cab for my Ceriatone, but after that I am considering making another Overtone because the one I just got sounds so awesome and you are inspiring me to try.
So What is next..
I liked your clips, especially the 6v6 clip which is something I would like to ty in the Overtone.am I crazy?

Just got an e-mail that my parts have shipped from Malaysia. Cool because the tracking information says that my package has shipped and is already on a plane leaving Malaysia, and its dated TOMORROW! (what?) I guess they are a half-day ahead!
That reminds me, Tomorrow's Formula one race in Malaysia is on TV Tonight!
It is really fast, they are a day ahead and My amp shipped last Monday their time and got here Thursday my time. It is a killer amp by the way. A tech friend of mine ran some tests on it yesterday. The plate voltage measured 462 volts. we ran a response curve, and if you are interested, I think I can get a copy and post it. He said the trannys were excellent, triple leaf? good stuff. And as everybody has said quality parts.
What quality will be changed by putting a 220k resister by the Od trimmer, I have not done any changes but that would be one I would do.
I will look forward to what you get when you finish yours.
Thanks ic.

My Ceriatone boards came in the mail today! I'll post some pictures tonight. I have not had enough time to really check it out, but I can see a 150k for the slope, and 150k into 100k trimmer for the OD input.
Looks like the aluminum on the Ceriatone is too skinny. Could someone confirm the size of aluminum strip on the original (like #124). To me it looks like 1/8inch by 3/4inch would be the correct size.

Looks like I need to make a bunch of holes in the chassis for star-ground, and some of the smaller boards. This shows a test-fit to see which pre-drilled holes can be used, and to find out where the new holes need to go.
