Too bad mine doesn't have a nice looking chassis like that.mozz wrote: ↑14 Oct 2020, 23:15 I'd like to know what the 6v6 are running at plate voltage wise and also the kt66. Then how much are they sagging? Just guessing the kt66 can run at 550v and if you have them at 365, maybe that's why they are a bit crunchier. Sound good you have it running. I would have gutted it and made another 5e3 probably. Last old amp is now a 6v6 bassman in a Marshall style head, almost done except for biasing and nfb switch.

I've been poking around a bit more, researching different amps, and I have found a few examples of Valco amps that used a pair of 6L6 with a 5Y3 rectifier and an undersized looking output transformer.
Here is one example: https://reverb.com/item/19448307-1963-a ... ensen-c12q So, maybe this thing did have 6L6s. Still not totally convinced, though.
