Rebel420	Out of curiosity, where is the country of origin on those National 6ca7/el34s? Same with all the other tubes

Victor,

Not to rain on your parade either, but I had a Signature 60 amp and both transformers had been replaced. Dean Markley amps were known for blowing transformers. If yours are original, just be careful using them. Also, this was the most unreliable amp I've ever had. First the bias circuit blew up, then the preamp circuit went dead. Unfortunate really, I thought it sounded pretty good.

Steve,

The amp doesn't seem bad, but it does not sound particularly good either.

I bought it for parts, and realized at the time of purchase that the tranny's were probably "Don Crapo's" made in Mexico. I really wanted it for the chasis. A little nail polish remover and that "Dean M" goes right away.

Also,

Does anyone here desperately need any of these tubes? Would be happy to ship. I would just be tinkering with them, and perfer working with Sovtek tubes when building (I know what to expect from them). Only e-mail if you really really really need them.

Thanx,
Victor

Bruce	I hate to be the one to say something too, but, I'm pretty sure National brand is a cheap Russian tube with a different label. Check that out before you trade or sell them off. Bruce
