What difference does it make? It's a done deal......if you're happy then that's all that matters.

I hope you got a fork lift or a pallet jack with the deal -- you'll need it.

Like those weights next to the amp. You'll need to work out to lug that baby around (like Arjay sed). I gave up and put casters on my BF twin Reverb. Loaded with JBL D120F's the thing is truly the Rock of Gibraltar.

Oh BTW... I put Philips ECG 7581A into mine. You can run the idle bias a bit hotter. Kinda makes the VOLUME go to "11."

:lol:

A Twin Reverb needs to go to "11"?!?!?!?!?

That's a good one!

I was wondering what drivers to put in there? but these fender blues work...
These are mostly all good/new I just have not sorted them. lots of US tubes any I should look out for... all the boxes are full and a lot of radio tubes but I hope to find a few gems.

Looks like my shop!

:mrgreen:

Look for the "usual suspects" applicable to Fender and other tube amps:

6L6GB, 6L6GC, etc.
6V6G, 6V6GTA
5881
12AX7
12AT7
12AY7
12AU7
7025
GZ34/5AR4
5Y3G
5U4G, 5U4GB
6AQ5
6BQ5/EL84
6C10, 6X10 (these two are worth their weight in gold to anybody with a Super Twin, Super Twin Reverb, or Super Champ)
6550/KT88 (Sunn/Marshall power tubes)
EL34/KT77 (Sunn/Marshall power tubes)
7027A (Ampeg SVT/V4/B25B owners will KILL for these)


Preferred brands (in no particular order):
RCA
Raytheon
Westinghouse
GE
CBS/Hytron
Ken-Rad
Tung-Sol
Telefunken
Phillips
Amperex
Mullard

HTH
