Hi, new to the forum. I've been a long time D-25M user, and now a recent 66-J amp owner.
I have a few questions about the amp, as I'm sure there are many of you who are more knowledgeable about amps than I am.
I got the amp for a steal of a price on Craigslist last week, but it appears the insides have been molested a great deal. According to the previous owner, the amp has now been made to run 6L6s and a GZ34. The power transformer's been replaced. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the specs for the power transformer are and am unsure as to whether or not this amp has been modified properly.
So I have a few questions:
Is there any way I can find out if the specs of the power transformer are fit to run 6L6's?
I understand that if you switch 6V6s for 6L6s, the 8 ohm speaker has to be plugged into the 16 ohm tap of the output transformer. Is there any way to figure out if the amp is running the 16 ohm tap?
If I were to replace the output transformer, what specs would I need to ensure that the 6L6/GZ34 tube compliment is being run correctly? Would a standard Deluxe Reverb OT suffice?
Thanks all.
