I finally joined the club :mrgreen:

Beautiful '66 PR!

With that sweet sounding Jensen in it...

The original Jensen still had the original cone and was sounding a bit rough, so I replaced it with another with a fresh cone :)

She sounds wonderful! :mrgreen:

Great with a Strat but if you plug in a LP with humbuckers or P90's then dig in a bit, watch out......it's got a nice ballsy edge to it that flat-out kicks!

Cedarblues, did you note the unusual-but-original mix of trannies?

The P/T is a Schumacher with an FEI P/N while the O/T was made by BC&T and is marked with an FMI-formatted P/N.

What numbers are on the reverb tranny?

I've seen a few PRs from that period like that when I was looking...

Here's a pic of the reverb tranny

Not sure if this was common back then, but I'm sure you would know :) here's another with a mixture of trannies, looks like the OT is a BC&T...
