I finally got around to finishing this [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] All of the chrome hardware went black for mechanical and cosmetic purposes. The cavities were shielded and a series/parallel pushpot was installed to jag it up a bit. Flatwound strings, along with the bridge, should...

Hahah ****. There is a small Radioshack breadboard above the pre PCB with wires running to/from the extra sockets. Mod city.....

Plate number is 732313

I just cracked open the top. The extra sockets are wired 2 3 4 5 7 8, as are the quad

Yep. The faceplate was not screened or punched for the polarity switch however. I measured the voltage from pin 3 to the chassis and got a small reading from both the quad and extras as the amp has not been turned on in forever.

Also, the 6k11 and outside Magnavox 7027As were burned out when I received the amp.

I don't have a camera but may be able to post pics tomorrow. I took the plates off and they don't seem so odd anymore, although the preamp section has quite a few empty cap and resistor spots. The 6k11 section is only 1/3 populated and has empty spots for caps, resistors and two sockets (V202...

Hello. I finally cracked open a broken V4-B that I bought a while ago and noticed that there are two vacant power tube sockets, as well as crude metal plates around the 12s and 6K11. I have never seen another one of these in the nude, but this looks a bit weird. I think I remember reading...

One of the biggest upsides to playing fretless in a 'heavier' setting is the presence it has over a fretted bass. The few cents of dissonance between the guitars and FL bass really give it a thick, comfortable place in the mix.
