Mr. Adrian did the repair -- the power transformer was teeny-tiny and I guess couldn't really handle the meager wattage. (I pretty much always run it on 10.)Output transformer. 6 watts at full distortion needs an OT bigger than 1" square. I'm surprised it didn't melt sooner.Doh, typo. I have a picture of the old tranny somewhere. So tiny! Ah-Damn, that's even smaller than the transformer in the Montgomery Ward amp I got from Snowblinder. Was it mounted to the speaker?

here's mine- surprisingly blues lawyer amp brings some serious rock. SO nice not having a bunch of shit in the way in a cluttered preamp though.. i really like this thing, and loud as balls for 18 watts- especially if i use this thiele cab and an open back 112 with.

My main amp is my Sunn Beta Lead with a Sunn 412L Cabinet.I also have a Dean Markley combo, a crappy Quantum combo, a Gibson GSS100 head that needs repair, a tiny Sears combo from the 60's and a Peavy Minx 110 bass combo, but I didn't bother taking pictures of those.

man, I would kill for a Model T.seriously, just point me at the victim of your choice.

I'm going to try to convince our drummer to let us start using this from now on, mostly just for the visual intimidation factor:70's DR103 copy // 70's Sunn Model T based 140W head // Avatar 4x1270's DR 103 copy // 70's Sunn Model T based 140W head // Generic Marshall Slant66 Bassman // 71 Ampeg V4 // V4-cab300W 6x6550 basehead // 69/70 SVT 8x1069/70 SVT // 69/70 SVT 8x10the two heads (& cabs) on the far left are not mine, but rather ones I have built for/with friends.

now, i wasnt going to post this because i didnt want you guys getting all jealous of my extremely high end fancy guitar amp, but i suppose you all need something to aim for.
