My Ampeg PF-50T:

I've got more. Maybe later.

My Ampeg GVT 15H:

Because of the missing components? They might have used the same circuit board for the V4 (guitar version) which has Reverb. Might just be the reverb circuit missing.

Edit: decided to look at the schematic and it appears that V202 and V203 (and associated components) are indeed for the Reverb circuit. https://www.thetubestore.com/lib/thetubestore/schematics/Ampeg/Ampeg-V4-Preamp-Amp-Schematic.pdf

Oh, I'm not tech enough to notice that. I was commenting on the obvious color difference in the soldering points.

The components got teeny compared to the 1960's ones!

Don't think I've posted before.
My R-12R Reverbrocket. It has been to the tech - because when I got it, it was in "unsafe" condition... if you consider aluminum foil in the fuse holder unsafe

Probably has a two wire ac cord and a death cap as well. Those are unsafe.

I can't find a gut shot, so for now, here is the front of my Reverberocket:

I know I have a photo of the insides somewhere.

It did... but it doesn't any more.

Methinks there's been some work done in here.

I might have touched up a few solder joints at that point, but I think that's how it looked when I got it. Eventually did have to do some work on it. Nice unit for sure!

My Ampeg GVT52-212:

This thing is a real beast.

My Ampeg GVT112EW:

Not an amp, but interesting because this is a short-lived Ampeg GVT112EW, which is a "double-baffle" guitar speaker cabinet. I have a pair of these.

Notice the four "slot ports, reminiscent of the earlier B 15, and SB 12 cabinets from the 1960s.

I don't know too much about speaker cabinet design, but it sure seems to me that the enclosure internal volume is rather large.
I also have a pair of the smaller non-ported GVT-112E cabinets. Ampeg describes both of these as "sealed".

Newly aquired HandBox WB-100, 120Watts of 6L6CG awesomeness!!! I think the guts look pretty sexy to me!

Those Acoustic amps had such clean chassis layouts. It also helped that they were great sounding amps too.

Wow, a single-supply power amp. That's a rare bird.

I don’t remember if I’ve posted some of these amps or not so maybe some repeats.
