BTW, I didn't forget about the pictures, just need the time to do it.

I bought the Maverick FDM speaker when it first came out and it's been in my RM50 ever since. Works great!

Yes, just need a little time. Week or so.

Ah....no, they didn't. However I still have the module, so, pictures are still possible. Basically it appears to be a graphic EQ with op-amps to supply the gain.

Oh, this is delightful!!!

I just ordered this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/WhiteLoop and this: http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/BlackLoop They are supposed to be hard wired loop switchers/bypass. Nothing fancy, the equivalent of a toggle switch like a Tele or LP. These are BYPASS/LOOPERS.

I think it would be a great idea. I do think an included handbook of vacuum tube theory as taught in your classes would be ideal. For some of us it's more the time away from work and the travel and hotel expense that make it difficult to attend. When I retire it's right up there on the list of...

1- As far as I'm concerned, if it's something I want and like, and would "bring joy," then I buy it. 2- If the repair is necessary, especially to make it playable, I wouldn't think twice. One has to ask themselves, "Who owns this thing anyhow? Me or someone unknown who may want to buy it...

Should I just stop posting?

Also, you can actually get sound reproduced by the output transformer. Get a "mechanic's stethoscope" or a real one, and probe around. You can also use a long screwdriver and touch the tip of the screwdriver to what you think is making the sound and put your ear on the end of the handle.

Do you have the reverb spring box connected?

Personally, I only use open back cabinets at this point. Generally, closed back cabs, I my experience, only develop their full characteristic sound only when you are at least 8 to 10 feet away from them. An open back, depending on how far away from a hard reflecting surface (a wall, for...

This is work I did on my amp: http://mtsforum.grailtone.com/viewtopic.php?t=12785&highlight=lots+pictures+rm50+repair

Wow! That's very interesting and thanks for the reply. If you would know, for that to work, it would require separate high voltage and bias connections (i.e. wires) to the chassis as well as an AC power connection to the transformer. Is that what was done? I always thought that an RM50 with...
