Bruce /Mission Amps | Re: 6L6 conversion question for Bruce I think just about any 30 to 50 watt blackface Fender amp has the layout. Look at a Super Reverb AB763. I use 470-1w to 1500-2w values, soldered on the power tube sockets (lug 6 to 4) for the screen resistors with the screen supply B+ fed at lug 6 and. The 1500 ohm grid stopper is moved and soldered in from lug 1 to 5. Grid (signal lead) wire is now attached to lug 1. I then remove and lower the 5000 ohm resistor, (voltage dropping node between the first two filter caps) to 2200 to 2700 ohms. This 2200-2700 ohm resistor would be in the same location as the choke in the Super reverb. Yes, I still have a few OTs left used for the 6L6s version. It is rated about 25-30 watts and has a 4 and 8 ohm tap so it can still be used with 6V6s. If you want the 6V6s, you'd connect the 8 ohm speaker to the 4 ohm tap to get the primary zed back up where 6V6s run. Bruce |
