Richie	Jim Kelly amp,anyone fimiliar with these? If anyone has some info on these amps they might share. I have one here with problems. Mostly all works fine,but no reverb. its a 4x 6V6 amp..losts of boosts[push pull]. the owner needs it to play this weekend. One tube was redplating. After checking the plate voltage,they are running at 500v screens about 497.. it has Philips STR 6V6s in it. The amp has a 30-60 switch. And you can hear the reverb crash,but no reverb when played. And its got some funky parts. kinda reminds me of some of the insides of boogie amps,the way its made. Probably a little better. It was late and had to quit for the night,so i'll do some more checking today. But any info on this amp might help. Thanks Richie
