AC128 Pin configuration

7/11/2000 12:47 PM
CJ Landry	AC128 Pin configuration I am finally getting around to playing with some AC128's I got a while back. However, I do not know the pin configuration for them. The case is a T01 or T05 with the tab on the can. Is the tab the emitter or the collector? Also, is the center pin in the triangle the base? Thanks in advance, CJ

Ian Anderson	Looking at the bottom with the 'tab' on your left, the pinout is as follows (L to R)... emitter, base, collector ... Ian

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor

Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self.
