Champ chassis mods...


Recommended Posts

What, if any, physical mods would be necessary to a standard Champ chassis to accommodate the larger transformers?

Go to Allen amplification's site, they have an upgrade Power Tranny that drops into the stock cutout in a silverface, probably would work on a blackface Champ. Dunno about a tweed chassis. Slightly higher secondary voltage, and enough heater current to run el34. Besides 6v6, enough b+ current to run any 6l6 type, including 7581a. .Nice iron.

Thanks! Brian just told me that Heyboer makes a drop in PT that can handle the KT88. :D

 

He also said the beefed out OT will mean a bit more drilling but nothing nasty.
