I went and looked at this today. Cab was way smaller than a TL. Speaker dust cap had been reglued, poorly. Grill frame was broken. It was also heaver than I would have expected. Probably made of MDF. I passed.Nate Dort wrote: Fri Feb 09, 2024 10:41 am Here's what appears to be a homemade TL606 loaded with a FaitalPro 15PR400 neo speaker for $160. Those speakers are like $340 new.
I already have a homemade TL606 with an Eminence Gamma 15A which sounds OK, but this might be a lighter-weight upgrayedd for me.

782Music Go Round called me and said that Magnatone was 32 ohm output and did i still want it.eephus wrote: Thu Feb 08, 2024 10:39 amSeriously, though, Nate--thanks for posting it. Certainly would never have found out about it otherwise. Will advise on results.
Ha ha I thought no way it's 32 ohm, look here i found the schematic no way. Called back, yes i still want it.
Turns out...someone did indeed put a 32ohm output transformer in it.
Sooooooooooooo time to put in another OT. Joke's on me!
Re: TRAYNORetcALERT- The "Look What's on Ebay" Thread
784Never seen a 32 ohm cab. Bet it still sounds great and works fine with a 16 ohm guitar cab. I think the only 16 ohm bass cabs I’ve ever seen were the Ampeg B25B cabs that were also switchable to 4 ohms.eephus wrote: Sat Feb 10, 2024 4:09 pmMusic Go Round called me and said that Magnatone was 32 ohm output and did i still want it.eephus wrote: Thu Feb 08, 2024 10:39 amSeriously, though, Nate--thanks for posting it.

78516ohm speakers are common enough, he might already have an 8 ohm cab that could be wired in series for 32 - try that see if it sounds good??
Wacky amp just got wackier!

786Just don't buy the overpriced Mercury Magnetics OT that they specifically advertise for this amp. I'd find something like a Bandmaster OT and drop that in there.

788Vintage Magnavox-era SVT for $600 in NH. Mislabeled as an SVT-CL. Sounds like it might need some minor work, but the price is right.

789Actually it's $500, and the seller would meet up within 30 minutes of me. Really don't need another SVT though, but maybe someone I know does. If anyone here desperately needs this and wants me to hold it til you can pick up an 85 pound amp in person though... let me know, I guess!
