I have an old Standel tube amp
Model is 80-L15 Ser is 1192-1.
Anybody know the age or how I could find out.
The amp is still in working condition But I am afraid to gig with it for fear it could get damaged. I practice with it at home and it has a killer sound. |

| I have #3102 and it's a '59. I only take it to clubs where women land on guitars and not on amps... |

Bob, have you tried contacting them? Their website only lists about the first 30 or so amps that they made. For more info, e-mail Dan Mckinney at this address, and he may be able to help you...

Yes, it also has the original D-130, which I've taken out and put in a box for safe keeping and replaced with an Altec 416. I've been bouncing back and forth between the 416 and a 421A. The Altec, to my ears, has less 'roll-off' on the bottom than the D-130 and more 'shimmer' on the top. Next week I'll have put something else in there and the week after I'll be back to the D-130. |

Mine has been changed over to 6l6s. It puts out about 35 watts clean on a scope. That seems to be plenty of power. It also has a K-130 speaker.
I sent an e-mail to Standel and Danny says that it was built in 1960-61.

| Joe, you might swap out the K for a D or a D-130F, I had one and I ended up giving it away, it didn't seem to have any life in it. |
