JD Sleep	Re: Sunn Sceptre Guitar Amp head Thanks for the information, that's great. I don't have a 4x12 cab, so I'm in trouble! I may have a newer model, the GZ-34 is not on this amp...diode rectifier. Quick survey of the layout, it looks like the reverb and tremolo are solid state, and the tremolo rate pot looks like a triple-gang pot! I've never seen that before, hope I don't need to replace that one. It looks like the tubes and caps are all still original (power tubes were gone though). The rust on the PT may be more than just surface rust. Not sure what I'll do with it if the transformers are bad. JD
