Tom, as a new steel player (but an old six-string player with a good solid understanding of chords and theory) I want to thank you for this document as it answers a lot of questions I had. It presents ...

Hi Malcolm,

Make out a fake receipt as if it was a used instrument for about 1/4 the value to keep the tax down.
I doubt any customs agent anywhere knows what a steel guitar is worth.
Next time v ...

Hi -

A steel is heavy, so you will have significant shipping costs. Then you will have heavy import duties, whatever they are in Finnland. In Germany I count on 20% duties plus shipping - plus the ...

NOS RCA and Sylvania 6V6 can be had for reasonable prices, at least over here.
The "TungSols" sound good to me, too, and I use them when I don't want to use the good stuff.

I live in Germany (where Lehle is made) and none of the major sources have the 90 in stock yet. I do own the standard version, and just today I tested it with my steel. The Lehle is a fantastic pedal. ...

There should be a tube chart inside the amp. If this is a real '65, according to the schematic it should take a GZ34/5AR4. A 5Y3 wouldn't last long in that amp. It IS used in the older TWEED Deluxe, b ...

Are you certain you need a 5Y3? Normally you would use a 5AR4 or 5U4, depending on the year of manufacture.

Steven

Thanks - pickup is here and fits perfectly. Sounds pretty good, too.

Hi -

It would also be worth your while to try Jupiter speakers. I put a 12" ceramic in my tweed deluxe, and liked it so much I am considering replacing the D120F in my DR with one. A band mat ...

Thanks much, that is exactly what I was looking for.

Hi -

Can anybody give me the dimensions, including depth, of the Lace Alumitone 10-string pickup? I'm finding nothing on the Lace site.

Thanks -

Wow the GEMA was quick in deleting your vid over here, Damir.

According to Graham Nash the Dead we're recording nearby and they asked Jerry to play the part. After the first take Jerry said he could do better. Nash said he could do a second take if he wanted, bu ...

You are just looking at parts. Consider also the tools you need - are you drilling your chassis or buying one ready made? Are you building your own cab or buying one ready made? If you are building on ...

Think very carefully before you go down this road. I built one amp just to see how it works, just one. I wasn 't going to build any more. That was 20 amps ago.

Sylvania/Philips 6L6WGB can be had at a decent price. They are quite good.

SED (Winged C; the real Svetlana) stopped production of ALL receiving tubes, as far as I know.

Thanks Steven, absolutely true...

If it's a linear taper pot, then what Dick said is correct - the middle is the wiper (output) and you can use whichever of the others you want as input and ground. But usually lug 1 (on the right seen ...

Two KT66 require 4.4A heater current (including 6 preamp tubes), compared to 3.6A for 6L6gc. If the Hammond 290DX specs are accurate, the PT only provides 4A heater current. It is likely the PT will ...

Thanks, that's about what I expected. I guess I'll have to find a new pickup.
