Tweed VIBROLUX

Bruce /Mission Amps	Tweed VIBROLUX I have about 20 chrome chassis and the eyelet boards are in the works. Do you folks think there is any interest in tweed Vibrolux kit? Keep in mind a tweed Vibrolux is similar to a tweed Deluxe, slightly less power (same power if Deluxe trannys are used), installed in a 1x10" cab/speaker combo but with a single channel chassis and of course; vibrato.

Rich	I have no doubt that people will be interested. Personally, I am more interested in a higher wattage amp. Such as the Bassman/Bandmaster kits you referenced a while ago (any update?). Rich

Tweed 6L6 amp kits update

The only thing left is the darn power transformers!
Since those old 6L6 tweed amps used very very similar PTs, I had custom ones made as the current black face and silver face Fender type PT offerings pushed the power tubes too high in voltage for the classic tweed 6L6s amps.
Everything else is just about ready to roll.
Heyboer OTs and chokes are being shipped next week but I'm being told that the old October delivery date of the PTs had to be moved to mid November.
2x10 cabs are shipping Thursday or Friday (10-30 or 10-31) and although I have not ordered many 3x10 and 4x10 cabs, they're going to be available too.

David P.	Re: Tweed VIBROLUX I'm interested in a higher-powered amp model (Super or Twin). My Deluxe is just fine for low-mid volume work--wonderful amp!!

Bruce /Mission Amps	Yes those tweed Super, Bandmaster and Pro amps are already in the works and I'm just waiting for the new new power trannies. Mid November. I'm also doing the tweed Bassman soon too... I've only had a few requests for the tweed Twins however. The low power 6L6 tweed Twin would be easy as it can use the same trannys as the tweed Bassman.

Troy	Any word on a (5E5) Pro kit? I'm thinking it would be a nice Christmas present for me.

Bruce /Mission Amps	Ha ha.. been trying to write a builders guide. I have clear my workbench and get rid of a few repairs so I can build another one, but this time with my digital camera for documentation. Bruce
