Are you positive they're Allen? These clutch screws look pretty similar but are different... I also have a 72 but mine are def clutch screws.
they are allen, ive had them on and off a bunch of times. maybe mine were replaced with a more common head??
That's the case with a lot of early Ampeg stuff. A lot of folks replaced the clutch screws. I think maybe my B-15 has a couple left in it, but they're gone out of my SVT and 810.
Hello all
I'm thinking maybe we can put a sign here: Ampeg V4B reissue owners welcome!
Cause there's gonna be a lot of happy new V4B owners pretty soon, and I speak only for myself, but I feel like this is their club too.
And this might be the place to discuss how the reissue stands against the original.
What do you think?
(And if Jimmy read his credit card number right this time, he'll get rid of the honorary mention

Hey man, I don't put asterisks on the names of people who join the Portaflex Club with PF heads or cabs!
I was suspecting so

#89: bigtexashonk; V4B
nouroog: great idea, it will be cool to see how they stack up against the originals. I'll add to the opening post.
I believe I was already number 83
Ope, sorry! I normally check the master list, I guess I'm tired. Haha. I'll go and fix that.
nouroog: I guess It's been too long since I posted the OP, and I can't edit, so we shall just let it be known that the new V4B owners are more than welcome to pop in and get a club number, as well as discuss their amps.
Yeah, great - nice thing to find coming back from a holiday. And quite a bit (20 pounds!?) lighter than the old ones! Can't wait to test one alongside my '71. In case it is indeed so much lighter and sounds anywhere near an oldie, I'm already considering an exchange for my 'lightweight' rehearsal/back-up amp, a PF500... I really wouldn't mind those few extra pounds (Aw, how many times I've said that to myself already - LOL) when there finally is a useful 'light' all-tube option for us Ampeg freaks.
