If nothing else, I could probably make most of my money back on the valves if I had to! (assuming they're still working) This one still has what I take to be the original Telefunken ECC83 plus Philips/Mullard 6AC7s with the code xf3 b3j2, placing them in 1973-75 at the end of the production of these valves at the Blackburn UK plant. It has a solid state preamp section (so I'm guessing it'll be clean all the way, which stands to reason for a PA), and the power stage uses an ECC83 (12AX7) and two 6AC7s (EL-34s). As far as I know, it's still safe to use, but that leads me to question one: Should I change it over to an IEC connection, and get it looked at by a professional before I even consider turning it on? Can I do any major damage just seeing if it will power up on standby?Īs far as I know, this is an 80W amp.

There's a proprietary-looking two-pin arrangement at the back, although it's probably just whatever was used for appliances in the '60s-'70s. The amp comes with no power lead, so I've found a nice man in Germany who will make me one. The icons only make sense to me once I know that information! outer silver ring is for volume/bass, and inner black knob is for echo level/treble. The four channels each have a 5-pin DIN input, but I've got some DIN-to-6.5mm jack adaptors ordered from a guy in Cyprus (we'll see how that goes.!) I've only got the eBay pictures at the moment (I have the unit, but no means to snap pics just yet, so these will have to do for now): I guess other effects could be used in there as well. The Eminent has four channels, each with a control to set the echo level from the Echocord (when available). amplifier, so I was pleased to pick one up for $150 recently. Although these work as standalone units, they were designed to complement the Dynacord Eminent II P.A. It's a no-frills echo unit with a sliding playback head (like an Echoplex) to set the speed of the repeats. He did a great job, and it's been a beautiful performer. but first a brief history:Īround the middle of last year I bought a Dynacord Echocord Mini (tape echo unit) for $70, and then spent another couple of hundred getting Glenn at Rock Dog repairs to whip it into shape. This is the first time I've had anything resembling a head, so I have questions. I've been playing guitar (off and on, when it comes to electric) for around 25 years, but have never owned anything but combo amps. Hi - I'll try not to ramble too much in this post, but I have lots of newbie questions about a recent eBay purchase.
