Hey all! I thought the amp nerds might be into this.
So I scored my "Rev F" Dual Rec about a month ago. Old tubes, missing parts, messed up tolex, etc. Here's the "before" pic:
I replaced the tolex, handle, feet, faceplate, jewel, and various small parts (tube retainers and stuff), and I installed a fresh quartet of Winged C 6L6s and some new preamp tubes as well. I got a TAD 7025 and a Tung-Sol reissue to swap in the V1 slot, they're both great but I lean towards the Tung-Sol for its midrange and tightness. Anyway, the amp positively SMOKES now, and it's looking good....
So anyway, I'm stoked on this amp and I'll put some pics up when I get a chance. If anyone wants to send me some DIs with backing tracks to hear it, email them to bluelightaudio@cox.net and I could possibly make clips when I get a sec.
Also, thanks to Lasse for the tube suggestions!
That is all.
